Nephropexy

Nephropexy

Nephropexy, also known as renal fixation or nephrofixation, is a surgical procedure performed to correct nephroptosis, a condition where the kidney drops down into the pelvis upon standing due to weakened support structures. During a nephropexy, the displaced kidney is repositioned and anchored securely to the surrounding tissues to prevent its abnormal movement. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen, allowing access to the affected kidney. They then manipulate the kidney back into its normal position and secure it by suturing or using mesh materials to affix it to the nearby structures, such as the muscles or connective tissues. Nephropexy aims to alleviate symptoms associated with nephroptosis, such as flank pain, urinary problems, or discomfort caused by the kidney's mobility. By stabilizing the kidney, this surgery helps restore its proper function and prevents potential complications resulting from its abnormal displacement. While nephropexy is considered a relatively safe and effective procedure, outcomes can vary depending on individual factors and the underlying cause of nephroptosis. Post-surgery, patients may experience a period of recovery, during which they are advised to follow specific guidelines for proper healing and optimal outcomes. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential to ensure a successful recovery and long-term kidney health.
