Advanced robotic kidney transplant surgery at Yenepoya Medical College
Mangaluru, August 21: Robotic kidney transplantation has created a revolution in the medical field. Interestingly, the Yenepoya Medical College of Mangaluru is the first college in the state and the second in the country to have such a modern medical facility. With this facility, a patient was successfully transplanted a kidney in the college.
Sathish (name changed) was the sole breadwinner of the family. When he met Yenepoya Medical College Nephrology head Dr Santosh Pai with ill-health, he was diagnosed with kidney failure. Then the doctors advised him to transplant the kidney instead of treatment. Later, his own elder sister agreed to donate the kidney. After all prior examinations of both, the doctors team decided to conduct the surgery with the robotic technology.
A team of doctors comprising Dr Mujeeb Rehman, Dr Altaf Khan and Dr Nischith D’Souza and Dr Padmanabh took the kidney from the donor through 3D laparoscopic surgery and transplanted it to the patient with the robotic technology successfully.
Robotic transplantation is different from the traditional open surgery. But it has several benefits. With minimal invasive surgery, the patient could get quick recovery. If it is in the traditional surgery, then the recovery of the patient has to take months. But in this surgery, the patient can go home within two-three days.
Robotic technology is a high-tech technology in the world. But it would require more skills to conduct surgeries. Fortunately, the Yenepoya Medical College doctors team has such an advanced skills, said Yenepoya university vice chancellor and noted cancer specialist Dr M Vijay Kumar.
Yenepoya university finance director Farhad Yenepoya appreciated the efforts of the doctors and promised of doing such surgeries to the poor at reasonable cost.
People in need of kidney transplantation and kidney failure and other diseases could contact Robotic and Kidney Transplantation Coordinator Nelvin Nelson (8123018855) for more details, according to a press release from the college.
