PANAJI: A Covid-19 survivor, who recently underwent a kidney transplant through Laparoscopic Nephrectomy, has continued his work on the train.
Transplants were carried out at Manipal Hospital, Dona Paula, after patients were diagnosed with diabetes kidney disease.
Amol Mahaldar Nephrology said that while the patient’s wife had agreed to contribute one of the kidneys, the transplant must be suspended after the patient signed Covid-19.
He is managed with a constant dialysis and monitoring while in house isolation.
“We can do the laparoscopic procedure only after he recovers from Covid-19.
The recipient returns 10 days after surgery and has completed five months.
He has even received vaccination against Covid-19 and has continued work in Konkan Railway Corporation,” Mahaldar said.
International experts say Laparoscopic Nephrectomy donors need significantly shorter inpatient care, experience a little pain and can return to their normal routines faster.
They need lower assistance during recovery that oppose those who undergo open nephrectomy.
Dr.
Deepak Dubey, Chair of the Urology Service in all groups of Manipal, Goan patients who suffer from final stages of kidney disease can take advantage of sophisticated facilities for kidney transplants.
“Laparoscopic kidney harvesting will save donors from many pain and discomfort compared to open operations.
Like that, they take noble acts to donate their organs to loved ones.
Therefore the process must be done at least painful,” DuBey said.
The surgical team consists of urologists from Madhav Sanzgiri, Laparoscopic Surgeon Dr.
Jagannath Kulkarni and Cardiovascular Surgeon Dr.
Rakesh Deshmane.
Transplant anesthesia is managed by Dr.
Divya Mahaldar, Dr.
Savita Sanzgiri and Dr.
Yogesh Gawde along with Dr.
Dalia Banhandare.
