Preferred Label : Nephrectomy;
NCIt definition : A surgical procedure to completely or partially remove a kidney. With a complete nephrectomy,
the attached adrenal gland, perinephric fat, and regional lymph nodes are often removed
as well. With a partial nephrectomy, the removed tissue contains the tumor and a rim
of normal renal parenchyma only.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Surgery to remove a kidney or part of a kidney. In a partial nephrectomy,
part of one kidney or a tumor is removed, but not an entire kidney. In a simple nephrectomy,
one kidney is removed. In a radical nephrectomy, an entire kidney, nearby adrenal
gland and lymph nodes, and other surrounding tissue are removed. In a bilateral nephrectomy,
both kidneys are removed.;
