Lap Reconstructive Urology Renal Transplant
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
Lap Reconstructive Urology Renal Transplant is a minimally invasive surgical technique aimed at addressing complex urological issues while enabling kidney transplantation. This advanced procedure combines laparoscopic surgery with reconstructive urology to improve patient outcomes, reduce recovery times, and enhance the quality of life for those suffering from renal failure or other severe kidney conditions. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who have suffered damage to their urological structures, often caused by congenital anomalies, trauma, or chronic diseases that affect the urinary tract.
The surgical process begins with the laparoscopic approach, where small incisions are made in the abdomen, allowing the surgeon to insert a camera and specialized instruments to perform the operation. The laparoscopic method allows for high-precision work in reconstructing urological pathways that may have been damaged or altered due to disease, previous surgeries, or congenital abnormalities. Once the urological anatomy is addressed, the transplant portion of the procedure involves removing the diseased kidney (if necessary) and implanting a healthy donor kidney, which can come from either a living or deceased donor.
What makes lap reconstructive urology renal transplant different from traditional open renal transplantation is the minimally invasive approach. This method reduces trauma to the body and preserves the integrity of the urological structures, improving the success rate of the transplant and enhancing the patient’s long-term renal function. It is a highly specialized procedure that requires expertise in both reconstructive urology and transplant surgery.
Procedure Duration:
The length and phases of Lap Reconstructive Urology Renal Transplant vary depending on the extent of urological reconstruction required and the patient's condition. Typically, the entire surgical process lasts between 3 to 5 hours. The initial phase involves laparoscopic preparation, where access to the kidney and urinary tract is established through small incisions in the abdomen. This phase is meticulous as it requires identifying, mobilizing, and reconstructing any damaged urological structures.
Once the reconstruction is complete, the transplant phase of the surgery begins. The diseased kidney is either left in place (in some cases) or removed, and the donor kidney is implanted into the patient's body. The new kidney is connected to the blood vessels to ensure proper blood flow and the ureter is attached to the bladder to allow for normal urinary function. The laparoscopic approach allows surgeons to navigate delicate anatomical structures with enhanced visualization and precision.
After the surgery, recovery time can vary, but most patients spend a few days in the hospital for close monitoring. Postoperative recovery is typically faster compared to open surgery due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, resulting in smaller incisions, reduced pain, and shorter hospital stays. The overall recovery period for the patient to return to normal activities usually ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, although careful follow-up is required to monitor kidney function and ensure no complications arise.
Benefits:
- Minimally Invasive Approach: Smaller incisions lead to reduced blood loss, minimized scarring, and quicker recovery times.
- Improved Postoperative Outcomes: The precision of laparoscopic surgery enhances the success rates of both urological reconstruction and renal transplantation.
- Reduced Pain and Hospital Stay: Patients often experience less postoperative pain and are able to leave the hospital sooner compared to open surgery.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: With successful kidney transplantation and restored urinary function, patients enjoy a significant improvement in their daily life and overall health.
- Preservation of Urological Structures: Advanced reconstruction helps maintain or restore urinary function, which can be particularly beneficial for patients with complex urological conditions.

Risks & Considerations:
- Surgical Complications: As with any surgery, there is a risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, or injury to surrounding organs. Although laparoscopic surgery tends to have fewer complications, they remain a possibility.
- Rejection of Donor Kidney: The body may recognize the donor kidney as foreign and attempt to reject it. Close monitoring and immunosuppressive medications are required to prevent rejection.
- Anesthetic Risks: General anesthesia is used during the procedure, which carries its own set of risks, including allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or adverse effects on the heart.
- Postoperative Urological Issues: Despite the reconstructive efforts, there could be potential complications related to the urological tract, such as urine leaks, strictures, or blockages that may require additional intervention.
- Long-term Medication: After a renal transplant, patients need to be on lifelong immunosuppressive medication to ensure the success of the transplant, which can have side effects like increased susceptibility to infections or other health issues.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
Selecting the right doctor and hospital is crucial for the success of Lap Reconstructive Urology Renal Transplant. Look for surgeons who specialize in both urology and transplant surgery, as this combined expertise is necessary for the procedure. Experience in laparoscopic surgery is also essential. Consider the surgeon’s credentials, including board certification, years of practice, and patient outcomes in similar cases. Patient testimonials and case studies can offer valuable insights.
The hospital should be equipped with modern facilities, a specialized transplant team, and a robust support system for postoperative care. Accreditation by recognized international health organizations can be a good indicator of quality standards. Make sure to inquire about the hospital’s success rates for both urological reconstruction and kidney transplantation, as well as their approach to patient care and follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
