During partial nephrectomy, the surgeon removes the tumor and spares the remainder of the kidney. Partial nephrectomy can be performed through an open incision or robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery — most partial nephrectomies at Johns Hopkins are performed robotically.

Hospital Stay: The length of hospital stay following laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy is generally 1-2 days.
Is a partial nephrectomy major surgery?
A partial nephrectomy is a major operation. Your consultant will discuss the risks below with you in more detail, but please ask questions if you are uncertain.
