The chance to get the full treatment of kidney cancers detected early surgery is quite high. Stage of the cancer, or radical surgery, depending on the size and number of the kidney, adrenal gland and the surrounding membrane and completely removed along with the layers of fat (radical nephrectomy) or partial removal of the tumor (partial nephrectomy) may be involved. Open surgery or laparoscopic surgical technique to be determined by the surgeon may be called the closed procedure. The remaining kidney is normal, diseased kidney does not cause any problems in terms of renal function should be taken. Being connected to the surgical technique, the patient is usually removed from the hospital 3-4 days after surgery. Normal daily activities after discharge from hospital can be easily.
