Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT)
Traditionally, kidney transplantation is carried out through an incision in the lower abdomen; this requires a long incision (often above 15cm), especially in obese patients and children. Larger wounds are associated with more wound-related morbidity (more pain, longer convalescence period and postoperative recovery, and poor cosmesis). Open kidney transplantation through a small incision was tried but had significant challenges,, especially for vascular anastomosis; hence, it is not widely practiced.

The advantages of RAKT are less blood loss, less pain, shorter hospital stay, speedy recovery, fewer postoperative complications, lower incidence of wound-related complications, and better cosmesis (Figure 2) when compared to OKT.

FAQs

Want to find out more about the treatment? The answer to your questions can be found below.

What is kidney failure?

Kidney transplant is the process of replacing the diseased kidney with a healthy, donated kidney. It is recommended only if the kidneys are so damaged that they cannot be managed medically (Chronic Kidney Disease or End Stage Renal Disease).

In some cases, transplant might not be a practical solution if the patient has an active infection or another life-threatening disease such as cancer, severe heart or lung diseases.

Fortunately, according to worldwide figures, the success rate of kidney transplant is above 95%. This not only comes as a reassurance for those opting for transplant, but also reaffirms the fact that kidney transplant is indeed an effective mode of treatment.

What are the types of kidney transplant?

1. Live Donor Transplant
 The kidney is donated by a living person, such as a family member, friend, or another willing donor. Transplants from family members usually have better success because the match is closer, and the waiting time is shorter.

2. Cadaver (Deceased Donor) Transplant
 The kidney is taken from a person who is brain-dead and had agreed to donate organs. The kidney is removed with the family’s consent and transplanted into the patient.

What are the pre-transplant formalities?

You will have to go through a series of investigations before the surgery to ensure that the donor kidney matches your tissue and blood type. You will also be screened for other health problems including heart or lung diseases.

After these tests, you will be enlisted on the transplant list and also on the organ sharing network list. As soon as a matching recipient is available, we will let you know; and if all factors are favourable, our entire team will work as one to ensure you undergo the surgery without any issues.

What causes kidney failure?

Main causes include:

Diabetes and high blood pressure
Immune diseases like lupus
Long-term viral infections (HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C)
Repeated urinary infections
Genetic or birth-related kidney problems
Long-term use of certain medicines (like painkillers/NSAIDs)
Long-term exposure to harmful chemicals

Is follow-up required post kidney transplant?

It is very important to visit your consulting doctor regularly and undergo all prescribed follow-ups and tests to make sure that your new kidney is functioning well. Remember, transplant surgery is a second chance at life and you need to be responsible for your own well-being.
