How Laparoscopic Nephropexy (Kidney Suspension/Nephropexy) is performed
Laparoscopic nephropexy is typically performed under general anesthesia. Trocar insertion is performed via a transabdominal or retroperitoneal approach, followed by dissection of perirenal tissues and assessment of kidney mobility and blood supply. Sutures, patches, or fascial plication are selected as needed to fix the kidney in a stable position, avoiding excessive tension. Drainage may be placed to monitor bleeding and effusion. Postoperative focus is on observing urine output, vital signs, and pain control, with gradual mobilization. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
