Bhubaneswar: Surgeons at the SUM Ultimate Medicare (SUMUM) here took the laparoscopic surgery route to remove a kidney from a donor for transplantation in the recipient successfully this week.
The donor was a woman in her fifties, who chose to donate one of her kidneys to save the life of her daughter. Both kidneys of her daughter had failed.
The 35-year-old recipient from south Odisha had to undergo dialysis twice every week as the kidneys had stopped functioning. She was under the treatment of Dr Tapas Ranjan Behera, Consultant, Nephrology, who subsequently recommended transplantation.
Consultant, Urology and Transplantation, Dr Priyabrata Dash conducted the surgery. He said laparoscopic surgery is less painful, ensures an early return to normal life and requires fewer painkillers.
“The minimal invasive procedure is technically demanding. In most of the reputed transplant centres across the world, laparoscopic renal transplant is the standard today,” Dash added.
The retrieval of the kidney from the mother and the transplantation, which was 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, a hospital release said.
