What is removed in a nephrectomy operation?

Liver can be removed partially and it will grow again to its normal size….

Another great question and information was interesting too 👍

Hank, Both can actually be removed to be replaced by healthier examples

Knew this as I had Nephritis as a kid - had to home school for a year but came right ; unlike All Black great Johna Lomu for whom it proved fatal 🙏

Player #25874027, I had a kidney transplant and am frequently asked if I had any kidneys removed. It generally isn’t done, as it is a much bigger operation

jessicaababee, Liver transplants only available if the patient cannot continue to live if it is not transplanted.

On time, My late husband had one half his liver was removed as the result of persistent infections caused by a surgeon cutting the artery to his liver during a gall bladder operation. I don't think it grows back if the entire half liver is essentially dead, then removed. He lived for over two decades, but never really was healthy from then on, eventually considered permanent handicapped.

nephro - kidney, neuro - nervous system (nerve - brain, spine, nerves),

jessicaababee, no, you can remove PART of a liver and liver will grow back. removing g ALL of the liver needs a healthy replacement.

Player #25874027, you can remove a liver? I need a new one. I have the highest tolerance to anything

ooooh 😯

A heart and liver cannot be removed
