It depends on what type of surgery, the extent of surgery and if it is laparoscopic. or not. But recovery from a laparoscopic kidney surgery is usually about 48-72 hrs. However, I would say, take 1 week off from work after the surgery.

The recovery time from kidney surgery is highly variable, both from person to person and between different types of surgery. This question is best addressed by the surgeon who will be performing the surgery and will have extensive experience in seeing patients who undergo different types of kidney surgery.

Hello and thank you for your question.

This depends on a few factors including the type of surgery involved, whether it’s done laparoscopically through cameras in port holes or if you are operated on by an open incision, and other medical illnesses and medications you take. This is a good question for a urologic surgeon who typically does kidney surgeries.
Good luck to you.

On average, around 2 weeks.

This would be a question for a urologist. It depends on what kind of surgery. Was it open or laparoscopic. Was it a transplant?
Usually we give 4-6 weeks to recover from any major surgery .
