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.
