Keyhole Surgery for Kidney Cancer

Our kidneys are vital organs that help to filter waste from our blood while maintaining the right balance of fluids in our body. But that function could be impaired by diseases like cancer. With most cases of kidney cancer being diagnosed late, what can be done to improve diagnoses? And how have advances in keyhole surgery improved outcomes for patients? We find out from Dr J. R. Sathiyananthan, consultant urologist from Pantai Hospital KL.
