Bhubaneswar: The surgeons at the SUM Ultimate Medicare (SUMUM), here have successfully removed a kidney from a donor though laparoscopic method and transplanted it in the recipient.

The 35-year-old recipient from south Odisha had come to the hospital for treatment and had to undergo dialysis twice every week as both her kidneys had stopped functioning. She was under the treatment of Dr Tapas Ranjan Behera, Consultant, Nephrology, who subsequently recommended for transplantation.

Her mother, who is in her fifties, came forward to donate one of her kidneys to save the life of her daughter.

The retrieval of the kidney from the mother and the transplantation, which were conducted in the normal process, took around five hours. While the mother was discharged within three days of the surgery, the daughter was released from the hospital on Friday. Both were doing well.

Dr  Priyabrata Dash, Consultant, Urology and Transplantation, SUMUM, who conducted the surgery, said laparoscopic surgery to retrieve the kidney from the donor was decided because it was less painful, ensured early return to normal life and required less painkillers.

“As a minimal invasive procedure, it is technically a demanding process. In most of the reputed transplant centres across the world, laparoscopic renal transplant is the standard procedure today,” Dr Dash said, adding that dedicated team effort was the key to the successful transplantation.

The donor thanked the hospital authorities for the efforts of the doctors, nurses and paramedics. “We are very happy with the treatment and people with similar renal conditions should get treated at SUMUM,” she said.
