Kidney removal may be necessary if you have a birth defect, an infection or cancer, or if you suffered a severe injury.
Some people also choose to have a kidney removed to donate it to a loved one or another individual in need of a healthy kidney.
At Sentara, we have been successfully performing kidney removals for almost 50 years. Our top surgeons handle 60 to 70 kidney removals every year-making us one of the most active and experienced kidney centers in Virginia.

You'll be supported by board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons and other caring staff members who are recognized as among the best in the country, as noted in U.S. News and World Report's annual rankings.
