First Robotic Kidney Transplant Performed in Telangana

Certain facts need to addressed in order to understand the benefits of these robotic surgeries. In normal kidney transplant surgeries, a large incision has to be made in order to have a better access to the kidney and it's surrounding tissue. However, in case of robotic surgeries, the same access can be achieved through a small incision, which can decrease the chances of infection and ensure faster recovery for patients.

This surgery was performed with the help of Da Vinci Robo system which can operate with vibration-free movement and is thereby safe for the kidney graft.

"We are thrilled the patient and the donor are doing well and the operation was a success," said Dr Suresh Babu, a nephrologist who performed the transplant.
