PGI docs set to perform robot assisted kidney transplant surgeries
LUCKNOW Surgeons at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences are all set to perform robot assisted kidney transplant procedures on patients with end-stage renal disease. But now the surgical procedure would be minimally invasive through robot assisted kidney transplant technology. And doctors at the PGI have undergone extensive training required for it.” Compared to the conventional open kidney transplant surgery, robotic kidney transplant requires a much smaller incision to remove the diseased organ and insert the donor’s kidney and then to stitch the blood vessels and the ureter. The procedure is especially useful when the surgery is deep and narrow like in kidney transplant, when the surgeon requires fine skills of dissection and micro suturing, which could be well performed by robot assisted technology.
