Renal Transplant Surgery

What is Renal Transplant Surgery?

Kidney transplants involve finding a suitable donor organ to transplant into the body of a patient with end-stage renal failure.

The transplant involves opening up the body of the recipient and sewing on the artery, vein and ureter with fine sutures into the recipient's body. This operation is a highly specialised and complicated operation that involves a team of surgeons and renal physicians.
