01 / UNDERSTANDING YOUR CARE
A clearer picture.
A kidney mass found on a scan needs an individual assessment. The scan findings, kidney function, overall health and any further tests guide the discussion.
Kidney cancer surgery may involve removing part or all of a kidney, depending on the diagnosis and suitability. Your doctor can explain alternatives and the trade-offs of each approach.
Bring your scan images, reports and current prescriptions to a consultation with Dr. Md Taquedis Noori in Purnia. Confirm where any proposed surgery and subsequent follow-up will take place.
Ask how each option may affect kidney function and what follow-up is needed. Outcomes depend on the diagnosis and individual circumstances.
What to discuss with your doctor.
- Painless blood in urine (gross or microscopic hematuria)
- Palpable lump or fullness in the flank or side of the abdomen
- Persistent dull ache or pain in the back or side below the ribs
- Unexplained weight loss, chronic fatigue, or recurrent low-grade fever
- Sudden onset of left-sided varicocele in older men
Care options explained.
Your doctor will discuss which options fit your assessment.
Partial Nephrectomy (Nephron-Sparing Surgery)
Surgical excision of the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue, suturing the renal defect to preserve maximal functioning kidney tissue.
Radical Nephrectomy
Complete removal of the kidney, surrounding Gerota's fascia, adrenal gland (when indicated), and lymph nodes for larger or centrally placed tumors.
Laparoscopic Kidney Tumor Removal
Minimally invasive keyhole approach for suitable renal masses, minimizing incision size, blood loss, and recovery time.
Post-Operative Oncological Surveillance
Scheduled contrast CT imaging and renal function panels to ensure cancer-free long-term survival.
Before your consultation.
- Carry triple-phase Contrast-Enhanced CT (CECT) of the abdomen and pelvis
- Bring recent serum creatinine, urea, and complete blood count reports
- Provide chest imaging (X-ray or CT chest) for complete oncological staging
A few common questions.
Can I lead a normal life with just one kidney if a full nephrectomy is needed?
When is partial nephrectomy preferred over full kidney removal?
Plan your consultation in Purnia.
Meet Dr. Md Taquedis Noori, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), MCh Urology, at Glisan Akbari Super Speciality Hospital, Dharamshala Road, Line Bazar, Purnea. Bring your existing reports and a medicine list.
Confirm the appointment, fees and any proposed procedure with the team before travelling from Purnia, Katihar, Araria or Kishanganj. Ask about the follow-up plan and any symptoms that should bring you back sooner.
