Fortis Hospital - Mohali

KS kalra, 60 years, Mohali, Punjab

Being diabetic for the last 35 years, I developed hypertension and acute kidney nonfunctional issues. It was very painful to get dialysis twice a week.

Looking at deteriorating health, I decided to go renal transplant asap. Then we had to look for certain important aspects like-

1. Identifying my potential Kidney donor

2. Search for highly skilled Renal transplant surgeons.

3. Quality Hospital with modern facilities and supported by passionate staff for post operative care .

Since I was longstanding diabetic and my age was also around 60, We as family searched extensively in cities like Delhi and Chennai to have the best facilities and expertise. Looking at the expertise, logistics and difficulties in follow up process, we zeroed in on our local hospitals in tricity.

Out of all the local hospitals in Tricity, We decided to go with Fortis hospital Mohali . In the process we met Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan , the renal transplant surgeon to understand the options for surgery, who was diligent enough to offer us the option of a Robotic Kidney transplant. On getting the clear understanding of Robotic surgery , we were able to take the final call and all related formalities were initiated. Since we did not have the same blood group donor in our family, swapping was considered as the best option and Dr Ranjan’s team helped us in preparation for the same.

Now It is almost 2 months when I was operated for robotic kidney transplant surgery by Dr Ranjan . The benefits of robotic surgery were clearly evident from the day one as there was only one small cut with few holes on stomach which started healing so fast that hardly any post operation pain was there and recovery truly happened at very quick pace. The experience is so relieving and satisfactory with all parameters like creatinine , Urea and salts are well within normal range. The surgery through robotics technology has shown unbelievable & remarkable distinction over the normal surgery and has surpassed our expectation whatever was promised to us. Needless to say,

Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan is highly passionate and skilful transplant surgeon with magical hands.

Robotic transplant surgery has clear cut edge over conventional open transplant surgery with key results like- smaller cut ( almost one fifth), less blood loss, least pain, faster recovery and no side effects or no infection.

Post operative care in Transplant ICU was excellent and I was discharged from hospital early as expected .

Will Highly recommend the Robotic kidney transplant surgery over the conventional one with technologically advanced SMART technique by Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan, who is the best among medical fraternity.

Being a navy captain myself, I was a charismatic traveller until I discovered I had chronic kidney disease. Hello there! Myself Capt. Rajiv from Bihar. I was suffering from cronic kidney disease since 2005 . My journey of medical uncertainty started since then. I had consulted almost all the big names in the field of Nephrology, Urology and Transplantation in the country. At this point I would like to mention that my root cause of kidney problem was urological disorder since my childhood. I went through many surgeries including twice bilateral uretric reimplant. Despite best efforts of various other doctors still I suffered from huge financial loss and physical debility and ended up on dialysis bed in the month of April 2018. I decided to go for my kidney transplant and my wife was my potential donor. When I went to my treating nephro and uro they refused her to consider for donation. One more thing I would like to mention since this point no doctor told me the route cause of my problem. Everybody said after this surgery things will be back to normal but no one actually knew how is it going to happen. At this point of disappointment one of my Known recommended me to Great Doctor Priyadarshi Ranjan!!! I accessed his YouTube videos and decided to give a last go. I came to visit him with my wife frankly with no hope!!! . But once I met Dr. Ranjan, I saw a big ray of light of my normal life. He gave me full access on my disease. He explained me everything in very logical, scientific and practical way and Gave me the real reason that my route cause is Neurogenic bladder which damaged my both kidneys. Believe me at that point only I decided to hand over my fate to him. The way he gave me confidence of successful transplant in logical way, I was totally convinced. I can play blind on this that he is the best transplant surgeon in India and a real gentleman.He also sorted out the problem of my wife for which she was refused for donation. God has given special gift to his hands and he is the doctor you can expect a miracle coming. In my case I can say it with full confidence. During my pre transplant evaluation the staff transplant coordinator nurse was dedicated for us during entire test process just to make sure I should not face any difficulty. All the evaluation was done successfully and in a hassle free manner within the stipulated time. My transplant was done On 2nd December 2019 by the blessed hands of Dr. Priyadarshi Ranjan. I was still worried from inside but Dr. Ranjan was fully confident. And I am very much thankful to ** ****** *** **** ***** ***** Dr. Ranjan. ICU stay was also vey caring. Specially would like to thanks to all the supporting and coordinating professionally qualified staff of Dr. Ranjan who helped and guided in very decent and cooperative way in all the process starting from day one till now. Now I am feeling great after transplant and my wife is also perfectly all right. I once again thanks to Dr. Priyadarshi Ranjan Sir for giving me second life. He is a real miracle man and great human being. May God bless him with all success in his life. Once again thanking you Dr. Ranjan.

My two cents:

6 weeks ago, I ended up meeting Dr. Manit Arora with symptoms like pain, popping sound, swelling and knee-lock in and around my left knee. After going through several scans and physical examination (On doctor's recommendation) it got evident that my ACL was partially teared up along with my lateral meniscus (grade 3) - Implications of further delay could only aggravate damages (like Arthritis and other inflammatory diseases) and was very well explained by Dr. Manit Arora.

When confronted with the dilemma to go for a knee surgery, it's not always easy to convince one-self to whether give it a shot or not but everything was taken care by Dr. Manit's Arora team ( Special thanks to Ammy and Jazz 🙏)

Finally, I under-went an arthroscopic surgery with fiber tape Internal bracing technique and I highly recommend Dr. Manit Arora for a reason to all of your arthroscopic surgery (AS) needs - AS needs precision which comes with a rich experience in handling those sort of surgeries and to trust all the references, recommendations that i've got while speaking to alot of folks ( including other doctors), all I'd like to conclude: It speaks volumes about Dr. Manit's Arora calibre and credibility when deciding which way to go.

Also you can expect him to be polite, empathetic, humorous (at times) and always busy with the rush of his patients

Now after 6 weeks, I can feel my knee is in good shape and with each passing day, it's only getting better 😊

I am sharing my review just to help other patients who would like to seek Dr. Manit Arora consultation - Just go and meet him!

Best wishes,

A happy patient ☺️

I am enthralled to pen down my experience after my life saving kidney transplant. I was leading a very painful life on dialysis since 2015.

As suggested by doctors, there are only two options of treatment of kidney failure- first one dialysis and other one is transplant. Due to my ignorance, I chose first one which was my bad decision, mostly due to fear and ignorance about a transplant. Going to hospital and plug yourself with a machine for four hours twice a week was a terrible torture, that I underwent for more than a couple of years, when my nerves broke down and I wanted to take all the risks for a desperate transplant in 2019. After a thorough combined search for my transplant we came across Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan, based in chandigarh at Fortis Hospital, Mohali. I interacted with a few of his patients before I decided to meet Ranjan sir. After meeting him I realised his confident, friendly and approachable nature is very attractive for any patient. A brief conversation with him made me decide in no time that he is the one I have been looking for. Sir’s confidence and meeting many of patients even from my state Madhya Pradesh, made me feel secure and I already started having a feeling of leading a healthier life. His team of Transplant coordinators are very generous, knowledgeable and supportive and thoroughly connected to each of his patients. They supported me throughout from document preparations to surgery and were approachable, whenever I needed. Finally the day came 21st October 2019 when the surgery was done. I would like to thank my brother who gave me second life. I am very obliged to Dr.Priyadarshi Ranjan sir and all the staff for their kind and supportive nature. I would like to end with two very important messages- that Dialysis should not be the preferred choice as told by many doctors and one should always see if transplant is a possibility and prefer a transplant always over dialysis. Secondly finding a great surgeon, great team and a great hospital is very important to keep you hail and hearty after a transplant. Many a times meeting the right doctor is the best step you can take for yourself. Today after a couple of months after my transplant, I have no words to express my gratitude for Dr. Priyadarshi Ranjan sir, whom I was fortunate to approach and also towards my brother who donated his kidney selflessly to save my life. His treatment style is very unique *** ********** *** **** ** *** ****** I am now enrolled in the post transplant rehabilitation programme, where I get so much information about my follow up, medicines, nutrition, exercise and various other aspects of care after a transplant to get the maximum benefits of this new kidney.
