Advances in kidney surgery

For more than a hundred years, kidney surgery was performed the same way. The open technique meant a large incision and long recovery time for patients.

Thanks to innovations pioneered at UCI Health, kidney surgery has come a long way. UCI Health urologist Dr. Jaime Landman describes the advances in surgery achieved in the past 25 years, and points to the promising therapies of the future.
