Kidney transplantation is a common procedure in India.
A kidney transplant is a procedure in which a healthy kidney is removed from a donor and transplanted into the body of a patient whose kidneys are failing. It is a better option than dialysis because the results are better.
During kidney transplant surgery, the donor kidney is placed in the lower abdomen, and its blood arteries and urine tube are connected to the bladder. The procedure usually takes 2-3 hours and is done under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes a diagonal incision on either side of the body, depending on the circumstances. Unless the recipient's kidney is infected, it is typically left alone in the body.
In addition to a routine physical examination and medical history review, blood type, tissue typing, and cross-matching are required tests prior to a kidney transplant.
A kidney transplant's effectiveness is influenced by various of factors, including age, the presence of another condition such as diabetes or hypertension, and so on.
Robotic kidney transplantation, also known as RAKT (robot-assisted kidney transplantation), is the most advanced and least invasive surgical procedure.
