 Hi, Myself Dr. Manor Badarappa, Consultant Urologist and Neel Transplant Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road. My topic is role of keyhole surgeries in real life transplantation. The laparoscopic technique has revolutionized the living kidney transplantation and has made donation more appealing compared to open technique where they used to retrieve the kidney at the 11th or the 12th rib incision the laparoscopic technique in which we use small holes and retrieve the kidney from the bed line incision there are lot of advantages for the donor. So since the outcome with both the donor and the laparoscopic technique was same the laparoscopic technique and as more advantages like the better outcome, the early recovery then the patient will be discharged at the earlier date and also most importantly the aesthetic scar has made the laparoscopic technique one of the more accepted procedure in case of renal transplantation.
