Successful Kidney Transplant Of Dead Child With Help Of Robot

Must read

Both the kidneys of a 13-month-old baby have been successfully transplanted into a 30-year-old man through a robotic en-bloc procedure, a rare case in the world. Mohan Keshavamurthy, Senior Director of Urology, Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Dr. Sriharsha Harinath’s team performed a rare successful complex surgery. Raghav (name changed) suffered from anemia and high blood pressure and underwent regular dialysis. So he needed a kidney transplant. Parents of a child who died due to suffocation have agreed to donate a kidney. Accordingly, uro-oncology and robotic surgery Dr Mohan Keshavamurthy successfully performed a kidney transplant on a man using robotic techniques in four hours. Dr. talked about this. Murthy’s en-bloc procedure, in which both kidneys are transplanted together, is rare. Kidney bench surgery requires extreme precision. Doctors are assisted by a robot to connect the blood vessels of the donor and recipient and the renal ureters to the donor’s bladder. The age of the donor is not important. This is because the function of the kidney is to purify the blood and after transplantation in the body of an adult, it is suitable for the function. It is said to expand by about 300 percent.
