Robotic Kidney Surgery

We remove kidney tumors with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system, prioritizing nephron-sparing surgery that preserves healthy kidney tissue and function.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Da Vinci Xi Robotic Precision

The Da Vinci Xi's 3D magnified vision and tremor filtration enable millimetric dissection around the tumor.

Nephron-Sparing Surgery

Whenever feasible only the tumor is removed instead of the whole kidney, preserving tissue and renal function.

Less Bleeding, Small Incisions

The small incisions and precise vascular control of the robotic approach mean less blood loss and less pain.

Short Warm Ischemia Time

The time renal blood flow is clamped during tumor removal is minimized, including off-clamp options.

Rapid Recovery

Smaller incisions enable a short hospital stay and a fast return to daily life.

International Patient Support

End-to-end international patient services including visa, transfer, accommodation and a medical interpreter.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Those with small to medium tumors suitable for kidney-preserving (nephron-sparing) removal
Patients with a solitary kidney, reduced renal function or bilateral tumors for whom function preservation is critical
Those seeking a minimally invasive, nephron-sparing alternative to open surgery
Those wanting a second opinion on an existing diagnosis or treatment plan

TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
Application
You share your imaging (CT/MRI) and medical history; our team begins a preliminary evaluation of your case.
Assessment
Urology, oncology, radiology and pathology teams jointly evaluate tumor size, location and renal function.
Plan & Quote
It is decided whether partial or radical nephrectomy and the appropriate robotic approach apply; a transparent, personalized quote is shared.
Robotic Surgery
The operation is performed with the Da Vinci Xi system, following the nephron-sparing principle and targeting a short warm ischemia time.
Follow-up
After a controlled discharge, recovery, pathology results and renal function are monitored with regular follow-up.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.
