Robotic Kidney Transplants Conducted at Fortis
By
Tricitynews
Jalandhar 29th September:- In a boon to kidney
failure patients, robotic kidney transplants have now become a reality and are
being successfully conducted at Fortis Hospital in Mohali. Unlike the
traditional kidney transplantation where the patient receives a kidney through
a large muscle cutting incision (approximately 25-30 cms), in Robotic kidney
transplant, the kidney is placed through a small 5 centimeters incision, in the
belly button, without cutting any muscle. As a result of this the blood loss is
significantly less, chances of infection are minimal, there is hardly any pain
and the patient’s recovery is quick, informed Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan,
Senior Consultant, Urology, Robotics and Kidney Transplantation, Fortis Mohali.
It’s
been a significant revolutionary medical advancement in the lives of the
patients, which is very helpful for their recovery. Now Chandigarh becomes the
third city in the country and tenth center in the world to regularly offer this
highly sophisticated surgery.
Till
date, twelve patients have received a successful kidney transplant through this
technique at Fortis Mohali. The latest surgery was done on 27th September at
Fortis Hospital, Mohali. Achieving this extraordinary surgical feat places Dr
Ranjan in top ten surgeons in the world, who are capable of doing a successful
Robotic Kidney Transplantation. Dr
Priyadarshi Ranjan said that till date we have done twelve Robotic Kidney
Transplants, and all of our patients are living a healthy life with a
functioning kidney now.
Unlike
the traditional regular kidney transplantation, where the patient receives the
kidney through a larger muscle cutting process, robotic surgery is conducted
with only a small incision and involves no cutting of muscle. The Da Vinci
robot is used in a specific way to ensure tremor free movement of the
instrument thus causing no damage to the graft kidney. This ensures minimal
chances of infection and faster recovery of the patient and the donor.
Sirsa
resident Boti Devi(55) donated the organ to her son Sandeep (23) after he was
admitted to the hospital with renal failure. Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan said that the
family was apprised about the latest robotic technology and its benefits,
including lesser risk of infection, lesser pain, and a faster return to
normalcy. Higher magnification and finer scaled miniaturized movements of
robotic instruments ensured greater precision in this surgery.
Dr
Priyadarshi Ranjan said that it has been a privilege to perform Punjab’s first
robotic kidney transplant at the hospital considering it is the first of its kind
in the stat. He informed that the team worked together and we are thrilled that
all the patients and donors are doing well and all the operations have been a
great success.
These
patients were on dialysis for a varying duration. He said that the robotic surgery
involved much lesser pain. He was initially reluctant, but the doctors
convinced him about the benefits. He is happy that he went ahead with it.
Narrating her experience, Beena said she decided to give her kidney for her
husband’s normal life,” who added that she did her own
research about the surgery before going ahead with it.
Patients
suffering from chronic renal diseases tend to prefer renal replacement compared
to dialysis for various reasons. Only three centers in India including Fortis
Mohali have been regularly and actively performing these transplants as of now,
with excellent results.
Robotic
kidney transplant is going to be the future in next decade. The incidence of
adverse medical events and complications is one fifth to one tenth of a
traditional kidney transplant and the benefits are immense. The kidney function
and overall patient’s recovery is far superior than a traditional
transplant.The patient has a very small incision so his natural daily life is
not altered after the transplant. The problem however is of it being a
technically complex procedure and hence there are only a few surgeons who are
able to perform this procedure and deliver good results. The learning curve is
steep, thereby dissuading many surgeons from taking it up, hence it is
practiced only in select elite institutions of the world.
