Dr. Anup Ramani’s Protocol for Kidney Cancer Surgery: What Makes It Patient-Friendly?

16 May
By Dr. Anup Ramani

Kidney cancer is a complex disease that demands not only surgical precision but also a treatment approach that respects patient comfort, safety and recovery. In India, Dr. Anup Ramani is earning a reputation as a pioneer in Kidney Cancer treatment, particularly through his groundbreaking protocols. His patient-centered model sets a new benchmark for holistic care, especially for those seeking Kidney Cancer treatment in Mumbai.

Dr. Ramani’s methodology is distinguished by its fusion of surgical mastery, a streamlined discharge process and continuous post-operative support. This article explores each facet of his care protocol and how it redefines patient experience and outcomes.

Precision in Minimal Invasive and Robotic Kidney Cancer Surgery

As a leading Kidney Cancer Surgeon, Dr. Ramani employs the Da Vinci robotic system for both partial and radical nephrectomies. His approach, involves only five micro-incisions of 3 mm each. The typical procedure lasts 60 to 90 minutes, requires no blood transfusion and is virtually bloodless.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery Include:

  • Minimal tissue damage
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Reduces hospital stay
  • Quicker recovery

This cutting-edge method ensures that patients experience fewer complications and return to normal activities significantly faster than with traditional surgery.

Hospitalization: Efficient and Comfortable

Dr. Ramani’s streamline process begins the day before surgery. Patients are admitted for pre-operative preparation and the surgery takes place the following day. His kidney cancer surgery protocol includes:

  • Placement of a urinary catheter and a drain during surgery
  • Sips of water by post-operative day one
  • Solid food consumption by day three
  • Drain removal on day three and catheter removal by day two

Discharge typically occurs on the fifth day, by which time patients are fully self-sufficient – able to walk, bathe and manage daily functions without assistance.

Post-Discharge Excellence: Daily Home Visits

One of the unique and patient-focused features of Dr. Ramani’s protocol is daily home or hotel visits by his medical team for ten days post-discharge. 

These visits include:

  • Wound inspection and cleaning
  • Pain and symptom management
  • Catheter maintenance
  • Patient education and reassurance

This model eliminates the need for patients to return to the hospital, offering convenience, comfort and continuous care – especially beneficial for outstation or international patients.

Kidney Cancer Surgery

Quick Resumption of Normal Activities

Thanks to Kidney Cancer Surgery, patients typically return to work within 2-3 weeks of surgery. More intense activities like running or weightlifting can usually be resumed after one month.

Return-to-Activity Highlights:

  • No need for a nurse or caregiver at home
  • Independent mobility on discharge day
  • Most patients regain full functional capacity in weeks, not months

This fast turnaround improves quality of life and reduces the emotional and economic burden of prolonged recovery.

Long-Term Follow-Up: Structured and Consistent

Dr. Ramani’s post-surgical care doesn’t stop at discharge. Follow-up is key to ensuring long-term health, especially in oncology. Patients are given guidance through a follow-up protocol that includes:

  • Annual CT scans to monitor recurrence
  • In-person review for local patients two weeks after surgery
  • Phone consultations for outstation patients

This consistent engagement reassures patients and ensures that any concerns are addressed promptly and professionally.

What Our Patients Are Saying

"Dr. Ramani performed my grandfather’s robotic prostatectomy a month and a half ago. I can't say enough about him as an accomplished surgeon in his field, but also his amazing people skills. He's been doing prostatectomy for decades, and started with robotic assist surgery when it first came available about 15 years ago. So, I couldn't find anyone with more experience for my grandfather. I will recommend him to anyone with prostate problems."

FAQs About Kidney Cancer Surgery

Patients usually stay in the hospital for five nights, including the night before the surgery. By the time they are discharged, they are fully self-sufficient and do not require nursing assistance at home.

Most patients go back to work within 2 to 3 weeks of surgery. More physically demanding activities like running or lifting weights can typically be resumed after one month.

Outstation and international patients have follow-up consultations over the phone. Annual CT scans are recommended for five years after surgery to monitor for any signs of recurrence.

Robotic surgery causes less pain, involves smaller incisions, leads to quicker recovery and provides high precision with minimal risk.

A member of Dr. Ramani’s medical team visits the patient at home or their hotel every day for 10 days to monitor their recovery, provide care for the catheter and answer any health-related concerns.

ROBOTIC ADRENALECTOMY FOR ADRENAL GLAND TUMOUR

  • Robotic adrenalectomy is a sophisticated, complex surgery and it is very important that an experienced surgeon performs this surgery to avoid major complications.
