Advanced Robotic Surgery: A Breakthrough in Kidney Transplant

admin Sep 04, 2024

At Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, we are proud to be at the forefront of medical innovation, providing cutting-edge solutions for complex health issues. One such innovative procedure is the robot-assisted surgery performed to address a narrowed ureter in a transplanted kidney. This blog delves into the inspiring journey of a 51-year-old Omani woman who benefitted from this advanced surgical technique, highlighting our commitment to exceptional patient care.

A Complex Challenge

The patient had undergone an unrelated kidney transplant in Pakistan nearly a year ago. Unfortunately, her recovery was complicated by a broken piece of the ureteral stent, leading to persistent urinary tract infections and ureteral obstruction. Despite multiple interventions, the issue remained unresolved, severely impacting her quality of life.

The Innovative Solution

Upon evaluating her case, our expert team at Fortis Bannerghatta, led by Dr. Mohan Keshavamurthy, Senior Director of Urology, and Dr. Sreeharsha Harinatha, Additional Director of Urology, recognized the need for an innovative approach. They decided on a Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Transplant Kidney Pelvic-Cystostomy, an advanced procedure that would reconnect the ureteric orifice to the bladder, ensuring proper urine flow and restoring kidney function.

The Procedure

The surgery was performed using the Da Vinci X robotic system, which provided the surgical team with enhanced visualization and precision. This minimally invasive procedure involved small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and reduced pain for the patient. The robotic assistance allowed the surgeons to operate with maximum accuracy, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Successful Outcome

Dr. Mohan Keshavamurthy emphasized the success of the surgery despite its inherent challenges. "Our ability to leverage advanced robotic systems in such complex cases underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge medical care," said Dr. Keshavamurthy. "This surgery not only resolved a persistent issue for our patient but also showcased the potential of robotic-assisted procedures in urology."

Thanks to the advanced robotic technology and the skilled hands of our surgeons, the patient experienced a smooth recovery and was able to resume her normal life much sooner than anticipated. She expressed her gratitude to the entire team for their care and expertise.
