summary
You may be familiar with the treatment of nephrectomy. If the patient's kidney has some problems, it must be treated by nephrectomy. Let's talk about how long it takes for nephrectomy.
How long does nephrectomy take
First, nephrectomy is to remove the damaged kidney or diseased kidney. Most or all of the kidney on one side has been damaged, while the other side is normal or slightly affected, and the renal function is basically normal. After the control of active tuberculosis in other parts, the damaged kidney can be removed, serious hydronephrosis or kidney stones, etc. the diseased kidney has completely lost its function, while the other side of the kidney is normal, the diseased kidney can be removed.
Second: check the condition of important organs before operation, especially pay attention to the renal function examination (generally including routine urine test, blood urea nitrogen test and phenol red test, etc.), to make sure whether the contralateral kidney can compensate the urinary system function. Before operation, pyelography must be carried out to make sure the condition of the two kidneys. At the same time, the side of the diseased kidney should be repeatedly verified.
Third, nephrectomy through thoracoabdominal incision should be performed under endotracheal intubation and general anesthesia. The drugs with little effect on renal function were selected, intravenous induction, rapid intubation and intravenous inhalation combined anesthesia were used. Inhalation anesthetics such as halothane, enflurane and desflurane were used. 1% procaine was given intravenously. Muscle relaxants were used which had little effect on cardiovascular and renal function.
matters needing attention
In general, nephrectomy is still a relatively large operation, so the operation process will take a long time. At this point, the family members of patients do not need to worry too much. In addition, they should do a good job in psychological work for patients to let them relax.
