Kidney Transplant Surgery
Advanced, life-saving kidney transplantation procedures with comprehensive pre and post-operative care.
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly.
When kidneys lose their filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in the body. A transplant is often the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering a better quality of life and longer survival than dialysis.
Dr. D. K. Chugh brings decades of expertise in complex transplant surgeries, ensuring precise anatomical placement, optimal vascular connections, and vigilant post-operative management.
