  • A siliconized stent is placed inside the donor's kidney to the patient's urinary bladder which is usually removed two weeks after the surgery by a simple method of flexible cystoscopy. 

  • A urinary catheter and a drainage tube are also laced which are then removed before getting a discharge from the hospital. 

  • Lastly, the abdominal incision is closed by a fine suture or staples. 

  • The patient is kept in the hospital for at least 7 days or until his/her recovery. 

  • Donor’s kidney is removed by laparoscopy which involves 3-4 holes on one small lower abdominal cut to remove the kidney.

 The donor is discharged after 4 days from the hospital after the surgery.
