Robotic surgery for the kidney
The robotic kidney and upper tract procedures Mr Reekhaye performs — with a focus on preserving healthy kidney and a smooth, minimally invasive recovery.
Robotic Partial Nephrectomy
Removes the tumour while preserving as much healthy, functioning kidney as possible. Often suitable for smaller or favourably located kidney cancers.
Learn more Larger or complex kidney tumoursRobotic Radical Nephrectomy
Removes the whole kidney through small keyhole incisions, typically for larger tumours or where preserving part of the kidney is not appropriate.
Learn more Upper tract urothelial cancerRobotic Nephroureterectomy
Removes the kidney together with the ureter and a small cuff of the bladder, for cancer affecting the lining of the upper urinary tract.
Learn more PUJ obstruction · a blockageRobotic Pyeloplasty
Reconstructs the junction between the kidney and the ureter to relieve a blockage and restore the normal drainage of urine.

Why these procedures are performed robotically
Each of these operations uses the da Vinci system to combine the precision of open surgery with the gentler recovery of keyhole surgery — smaller incisions, less pain and a faster return to normal life.
Why robotic surgery?- Magnified 3D, high-definition vision
- Small keyhole incisions, not one large cut
- Less blood loss and post-operative pain
- A shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
