What Are Kidney Transplant & Reconstructive Urology?
- Kidney Transplantation is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or non-functioning kidney with a healthy donor kidney. It is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or chronic kidney failure.
- Reconstructive Urology involves surgical correction of structural abnormalities in the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These may be congenital, acquired, or trauma-induced.
Conditions Treated
Kidney Transplantation
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
- Diabetic Nephropathy
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Hypertensive Nephrosclerosis
Reconstructive Urology
- Urethral Strictures
- Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction
- Bladder Neck Contracture
- Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
- Fistulas (e.g., vesicovaginal, urethrocutaneous)
- Congenital anomalies (e.g., hypospadias, epispadias)
- Urological trauma and post-surgical complications
Diagnosis
Dr. Gopichand uses a comprehensive diagnostic approach to assess kidney function and urinary tract anatomy:
- Blood tests (Creatinine, GFR, Urea)
- Urinalysis and culture
- Renal Ultrasound
- CT Urography or MR Urography
- Nuclear Renal Scans
- Cystoscopy and Urethroscopy
- Urodynamic Studies (for bladder dysfunction)
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medical, surgical, or assisted reproductive techniques:
Kidney Transplant Surgery
Performed with a multidisciplinary team, kidney transplantation involves:
- Pre-transplant evaluation and donor matching
- Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (for living donors)
- Transplantation of the donor kidney into the recipient’s pelvis
- Post-operative immunosuppressive therapy and monitoring
Reconstructive Urological Procedures
- Urethroplasty – Surgical repair of urethral strictures
- Robotic Pyeloplasty – For UPJ obstruction
- Bladder Augmentation – For neurogenic bladder or small-capacity bladder
- Ureteral Reimplantation – For VUR or ureteral injury
- Fistula Repair – Closure of abnormal urinary tract connections
