Nephrectomy Market Analysis

In-depth Analysis of Nephrectomy Market Industry Landscape

Laparoscopy is a special way doctors can treat patients with kidney problems, like when they need to remove a sick or cancerous kidney. Instead of doing a big surgery with a large cut, they make a small cut and use a tiny camera, called a laparoscope, to see inside the patient's belly. This procedure gives the same results as the old-fashioned big surgeries, and it can be used for different types of kidney surgery – whether they need to take out the whole kidney or just a part of it. It's also the main way doctors do kidney transplants, either to remove a healthy kidney from a donor or to put a new kidney into a patient. People like this method because it causes less pain after the surgery, has fewer complications, gives similar results to big surgeries, and lets them leave the hospital sooner.

When someone needs a new kidney because theirs is damaged or not working well, doctors can do a kidney transplant. This means they take a healthy kidney from someone else (a donor) and put it into the person who needs it. This is done when the person's own kidney is not working properly due to diseases, serious infections, or accidents that cause damage. Kidney transplants are in high demand because of the increasing number of kidney problems worldwide. For example, in the United States, there were 21,167 kidney transplants in 2018, according to the US Government Information on Organ Donation and Transplantation. More people are becoming aware of organ donation, and many are volunteering to donate their organs, which helps meet the demand for kidney transplants. This growing awareness and support for organ donation are expected to make the global nephrectomy market grow during the forecast period.
