GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During the surgery: The surgeon makes an incision in the lower part of one side of the abdomen and places the new kidney into the body. Unless your own kidneys are causing complications such as high blood pressure, kidney stones, pain or infection, they are left in place.

Detailed explanation-2: -A kidney transplant is a surgery done to replace a diseased kidney with a healthy kidney from a donor. The kidney may come from a deceased organ donor or from a living donor. Family members or others who are a good match may be able to donate one of their kidneys. This type of transplant is called a living transplant.

Detailed explanation-3: -People can live normal lives with only one kidney. As long as the donor is evaluated thoroughly and cleared for donation, he or she can lead a normal life after the surgery. When the kidney is removed, the single normal kidney will increase in size to compensate for the loss of the donated kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -First, an incision (cut) is made in your lower abdomen (tummy), through which the donated kidney is put into place. Your own kidneys will usually be left where they are, unless they’re causing problems such as pain or infection. Second, nearby blood vessels are attached to the blood vessels of the donated kidney.

Detailed explanation-5: -During a kidney transplant, a donor kidney is placed in your lower abdomen. Your own kidneys aren’t removed unless they’re causing problems.
