People receiving a kidney transplant are given general anesthesia before surgery. The transplant surgeon makes an incision in the lower belly area and places the new kidney inside your body. The artery and vein of the new kidney are connected to the artery and vein in your pelvis. The new kidney generates urine as your original healthy kidneys did when your blood runs through them. The tube that carries urine (ureter) is then attached to your bladder. Unless they are causing a medical problem, your kidneys are left in place. Then the wound is then closed.

An average kidney transplant procedure lasts three hours. A pancreas transplant may potentially be performed simultaneously for diabetic patients. This procedure can add another 3 hours to the surgery.

AFTER THE PROCEDURE

After the Renal transplant surgery in Hyderabad, you must stay in the hospital for between 7to 10days if you had a kidney transplant for one to two months. You will require frequent blood tests and constant doctor monitoring.

The recovery process takes roughly six months. For the first three months, you may be asked to stay close to the hospital by your transplant team. You will need to have regular check-ups with blood tests for many years.
