A kidney transplant is a medical procedure to replace a damaged or failed kidney with a healthy one from a donor, either related or unrelated, who is medically compatible. This procedure provides a life-changing solution for patients with chronic kidney failure, allowing them to live normally again without relying on regular dialysis. During the process, doctors assess compatibility between donor and recipient through a series of immunological tests to ensure the transplant is safe and effective. With advancements in medical technology and surgical expertise, kidney transplants can now be performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, such as the one available at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.

Kidney Transplant Cost at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri Jakarta
The cost of a kidney transplant at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri Jakarta is IDR 1,100,000,000 (1.1 billion rupiah).
This cost includes both the donor’s surgery (kidney retrieval) and the recipient’s surgery (transplanting the kidney into the recipient). It also covers all medical instruments and surgical procedures performed by the doctors.
Understanding the Laparoscopic Kidney Transplant Method
Kidney transplant procedures at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri are performed using the laparoscopic method, a modern surgical technique that allows kidney transplantation through minimal incisions, offering safer procedures and faster recovery.
Here’s a brief overview of the process:
- Small abdominal incisions: Doctors make several small incisions to insert surgical instruments and a high-resolution camera.
- Insertion of the laparoscope: The laparoscope camera provides a detailed view of internal organs on a monitor, allowing doctors to work with high precision.
- Kidney retrieval or placement: The donor kidney is removed or implanted through small incisions using special tools without the need for open surgery.
- Vascular and urinary tract connection: The new kidney is connected to the recipient’s blood vessels and urinary tract to ensure proper function.
- Wound closure: Once all connections are successful and the new kidney functions properly, the small incisions are closed with fine sutures.
This method offers several benefits over traditional open surgery, including less bleeding, reduced infection risk, minimal pain, and faster recovery.
Advantages of the Laparoscopic Kidney Transplant Method
The laparoscopic kidney transplant method provides several advantages compared to conventional open surgery, such as:
- Smaller incisions: The procedure requires only a few small cuts, resulting in minimal surgical wounds.
- Faster recovery: Patients generally recover and return to daily activities more quickly than with conventional surgery.
- Less postoperative pain: Smaller incisions cause less pain after surgery.
- Lower bleeding and infection risks: The smaller surgical wounds minimize complications.
- Better aesthetic results: Smaller and smoother scars provide better cosmetic outcomes.
However, the choice of the laparoscopic method depends on each patient’s medical condition. The doctor will determine the most appropriate procedure based on a comprehensive evaluation to ensure optimal safety and outcomes.
