The Family Had No Doubts Even Though It Was the First Kidney Transplant at Mandaya
The patient’s family said they had been informed that this procedure was the first kidney transplant performed at RS Mandaya Royal Puri. However, this information did not cause concern for them.
This was because the medical team involved consisted of doctors who already had experience in performing kidney transplant procedures.
“At first we were told that this was the first transplant at Mandaya Hospital, but we had no doubts at all because once we were informed about the doctors, we knew they were already experienced in performing kidney transplants,” said the patient’s child.
Their confidence was also strengthened by the hospital’s thorough preparation, both in terms of facilities and coordination among the medical team involved in the surgery.
According to the fAdd Postamily, the care and services provided throughout the treatment process were also very helpful in guiding them through every stage of the medical procedure.
The Kidney Transplant Procedure Was Carefully Prepared
A kidney transplant is a complex medical procedure that involves multiple preparation stages before surgery can be performed. Medical teams from various specialties work together to ensure the patient is fully prepared for the procedure.
Medical assessments are conducted from several aspects, including the patient’s kidney condition, dialysis preparation, as well as evaluation of blood vessels and other organs such as the heart and lungs.
In addition, the medical team determines the most suitable donor kidney for transplantation. In this procedure, the donor kidney was retrieved using a laparoscopic technique with small incisions, allowing the organ removal process to be performed in a minimally invasive manner.
After the kidney was successfully removed, it was prepared before being connected to the recipient’s blood vessels. The donor kidney’s artery and vein were then connected to the patient’s blood vessels so that blood flow could circulate through the organ.
Once blood circulation was restored, the donor kidney began functioning by filtering the blood and producing urine.
The Family Was Satisfied with the Hospital’s Care and Readiness
After the surgery, the patient was closely monitored in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to ensure that the new kidney was functioning properly. During this period, doctors monitored urine production as well as the patient’s overall condition.
For the family, this experience left a very positive impression regarding the care provided by RS Mandaya Royal Puri.
“All of our family members are very satisfied with the hospital and all the doctors who treated our father so well,” she said.
She also shared a message for people who may be looking for a hospital to undergo a kidney transplant.
“Mandaya Hospital is very ready to perform kidney transplant procedures with highly skilled doctors, very supportive management, and everything is very well prepared.”
The experience shared by the patient’s family also demonstrates that RS Mandaya Royal Puri has the medical team, facilities, and healthcare system readiness needed to perform kidney transplant procedures safely and professionally.
