RS Mandaya Royal Puri has made history by successfully performing its first kidney transplant surgery on January 13, 2026. This achievement was made possible not only through the collaboration of a highly experienced multidisciplinary medical team but also through the support of advanced medical facilities and technologies that assist every stage of the transplant procedure.
Kidney transplantation is a complex medical procedure that requires close coordination among various medical specialties as well as support from high-technology facilities. From the stage of donor kidney retrieval, connecting the blood vessels in the recipient, to monitoring the patient during and after surgery, every step is carried out through a well-integrated medical system.
In this procedure, the donor kidney is retrieved using a laparoscopic technique through a small incision via the retroperitoneal approach. After the kidney is removed, the organ is carefully prepared before being connected to the recipient’s blood vessels. Once the blood flow is restored, the donor kidney begins receiving circulation from the patient’s body, allowing it to resume its blood-filtering function.
One of the early signs of a successful transplant is when the kidney begins producing urine that flows through the ureter and is then connected to the patient’s bladder. After the surgery is completed, the patient is monitored intensively in the ICU for several days to ensure that the new kidney is functioning properly.
The success of this procedure demonstrates that RS Mandaya Royal Puri is equipped with modern medical facilities capable of supporting kidney transplant procedures safely and effectively.

Supporting Facilities for Kidney Transplantation at RS Mandaya Royal Puri
To support kidney transplant procedures, RS Mandaya Royal Puri is equipped with a range of specialized medical facilities designed to improve the safety and success rate of the surgery.
-
Dedicated Kidney Transplant Operating Rooms
RS Mandaya Royal Puri provides dedicated operating rooms specifically designed for kidney transplant procedures involving both the donor and the recipient.
These two operating rooms are positioned side by side so that the transfer of the organ from donor to recipient can be performed quickly and efficiently. This arrangement is crucial for preserving the quality and function of the kidney before it is transplanted into the patient’s body.
Each operating room is equipped with modern sterilization systems, positive-pressure air filtration technology using HEPA filters, and advanced monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.
With separate yet adjacent operating rooms, the risk of cross-infection can be minimized. At the same time, the medical team can work more efficiently and in a well-coordinated manner during the transplant process.
-
Laparoscopic Kidney Ultrasound
RS Mandaya Royal Puri is also equipped with Laparoscopic Kidney Ultrasound technology, which helps surgeons perform kidney surgery using minimally invasive techniques.
This technology enables doctors to visualize kidney structures in real time with high detail during surgery. With laparoscopic ultrasound guidance, surgeons can perform procedures with greater precision.
In addition to improving surgical accuracy, this technology can help reduce the risk of bleeding and accelerate the patient’s recovery after surgery.
The presence of this technology plays an important role in supporting the success of kidney transplantation at RS Mandaya Royal Puri.
-
Hemosphere Advance Hemodynamic Monitor
During kidney transplant surgery, the patient’s physiological condition must be closely monitored. For this reason, RS Mandaya Royal Puri utilizes the Hemosphere Advance Hemodynamic Monitor, an advanced device capable of monitoring a patient’s hemodynamic status in real time.
This system provides accurate data regarding blood pressure, blood circulation, as well as heart and circulatory system function during the surgical procedure.
With an integrated monitoring system, anesthesiologists can quickly detect changes in the patient’s condition and make prompt medical decisions if necessary during the surgery.
This technology plays a crucial role in maintaining the patient’s physiological stability both during kidney transplant surgery and throughout the recovery phase afterward.
With the support of these advanced medical facilities and technologies, RS Mandaya Royal Puri is now increasingly prepared to provide safe, modern, and high-standard kidney transplant services for patients who require them.
