Nephrectomy

Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Nephrectomy

A nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney that is damaged or diseased. There are three main types of nephrectomy. A partial nephrectomy is the removal of a tumor from the kidney. A simple nephrectomy is the removal of the affected kidney. A radical nephrectomy is the removal of the kidney, the adrenal glands, lymph nodes and other surrounding tissues.
