How long can you recover after partial nephrectomy

When partial nephrectomy is performed for kidney disease, the recovery time is about 2 weeks. However, if there is significant bleeding in the urinary tract or persistent bleeding in the drainage tube during recovery, further interventional embolization is necessary. It is recommended to stay in bed for more than 4 weeks until the bleeding stops completely. Because of the large blood flow and relatively high pressure in the kidney, there is still a risk of secondary bleeding after partial nephrectomy, even after artificial anastomosis. Especially when the waist is violently moved, the risk of bleeding is even greater. Therefore, it is recommended to stay in bed for 10-14 days after operation to observe whether there is bleeding in the urinary catheter drainage tube. If there is still no local active bleeding after 10-14 days, try to move to the ground to observe whether there is bleeding in the urinary catheter and drainage tube, such as active bleeding. If no bleeding is found after the activity, it may indicate basic recovery. However, if there is persistent bleeding in the urinary tract during recovery, or blood can flow continuously from the drainage tube, it is recommended to further perform CT or B ultrasound to evaluate whether interventional embolization therapy is needed or bed rest therapy is needed.
