THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Kidney transplantation involves placing a healthy kidney into your body, where it can perform all of the functions that a failing kidney cannot. Your new kidney is placed on the lower right or left side of your abdomen where it’s surgically connected to nearby blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. This is to provide the donated kidney with the blood supply it needs to function properly.

Detailed explanation-3: -During kidney transplant surgery, the donor kidney is placed in your lower abdomen. Blood vessels of the new kidney are attached to blood vessels in the lower part of your abdomen, just above one of your legs. The new kidney’s urine tube (ureter) is connected to your bladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most living kidney donors will be in the hospital for one to two days after their surgery, although at some transplant centers, donors may be in the hospital for up to 4 to 6 days. The most common complication experienced by donors is tenderness, itching, and/or pain at the site of the surgical incision(s).
