Of course this decision is directly related to the overall health status of the patient and whether surgery is not too risky. Several types of surgery are available, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Partial nephrectomy. A Urologist removes the part of your kidney that has the tumour. The healthy part of your kidney is left intact. This is usually recommended when the patient has\u00a0 a small kidney tumour that hasn\u2019t spread.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radical nephrectomy. A surgeon removes your entire kidney and some of the surrounding tissue. Lymph nodes around your kidney are sometimes removed as well. Urologists usually recommend a radical nephrectomy if you have a large kidney tumour near major blood vessels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Endoscopic laser ablation of the tumour. In cases where the tumour comes from the collecting system and is small without any aggressive characteristics it is possible to ablate it using a laser.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Segmental ureterectomy. It involves removing only the part of the ureter that is affected. This is an option when a tumour is located only in the ureter and laser ablation is not possible due to size.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radical nephroureterectomy. The kidney along with the entire ureter are removed. Sometimes the lymph nodes near the kidney and ureter are removed at the same time. This is indicated in case where the tumour arises from the collecting system and less invasive options like laser ablation or partial removal of the ureter are not indicated<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, before proceeding with any kind of treatment it is mandatory to have a detailed discussion with your doctor which will guide you to the best possible option.<\/span><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition_faq\/1929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition_faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/condition_faq"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-category?post=1929"},{"taxonomy":"service_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfragkoulis.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service_type?post=1929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
