Other surgeons in this audit
Mr Vijay Ramani
This surgeon performs high-risk complex cases. Five of the radical nephrectomies performed had IVC/cardiac extension of the tumour. Eight cases performed at The Christie, including surgery after interleukin or sutent treatment, not included. Most of the referrals for radical and partial nephrectomy are from other centres, due to complexity. Two additional cases at UHSM not included as the data was not uploaded This data includes 2 private cases. This consultant also took part in an additional 6 cases jointly with another consultant.
These graphs give an overall picture of the type of surgery that has been performed and the variety of patient conditions it was performed on.
The light blue line in these graphs indicates national average. The red lines indicate 99% (lower) & 99.9% (upper) alarms.
An empty bar indicates that there were no reported events for that particular outcome.
The complication rate is for complications graded Clavien Dindo III and above.

Some risk factors like age, haemoglobin levels and other medical problems can affect the outcome of nephrectomy both in terms of complications, length of stay and likelihood of requiring a transfusion.
The graphs below show what percentage of this consultant's / hospital's patients have each risk factor. This can indicate whether the consultant / hospital generally operates on high risk patients or specialises in doing complicated surgery like cytoreductive procedures or those involving exploration of the vena cava.
Patients > 70 years of age
Exploration of the vena cava
