This last July, a team led by Dr. Antonio Alcaraz<\/strong><\/a> , head of the Department of Urology<\/strong> at the Hospital Cl\u00ednic de Barcelona<\/strong> and specialist of Urology barnacl\u00ednic+<\/strong>, has performed two kidney removals through the vagina of the donors, leaving them with no scars, thanks to a technique called transvaginal nephrectomy<\/strong><\/a> . Then, they implanted them in recipients using robotic surgery,<\/strong> using the state-of-the-art, Da Vinci Xi robot<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Dr. Alcaraz\u2019s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 team will use this surgical technique in more than 40% of 60 transplants which are carried out every year on living donors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, renal transplants<\/strong><\/a> were performed in open surgery. According to Dr. Alcaraz<\/strong><\/a> , \u201cIt’s a matter of a paradigm shift in carrying out this type of intervention”.\u00a0 Robotic surgery<\/strong> is a revolution in surgery and transplantation because, despite needing a similar amount of time to do it, complications are minimized and the recovery time for the transplanted patient is reduced considerably. Dr. Alcaraz<\/strong><\/a> remarks that \u201cminimally invasive techniques<\/strong><\/a> were already being applied in other surgeries\u201d. \u201cNow, they have come to renal transplants<\/strong><\/a>“, the barnacl\u00ednic +<\/strong> specialist also announces.\u00a0 He states \u201cthe goal of our team is to perform kidney transplantations<\/strong> in a systematic way using this technology\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the two transplants performed by Dr.Alcaraz\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> team as well as implanting kidneys through robotic surgery<\/strong><\/a>, for the removal of the organ from the donor, they have used the one known as Advanced surgery NOTES<\/strong><\/a> (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopy Surgery)<\/em>. The difference between this technique with conventional laparoscopic surgery<\/strong> is that, through the transvaginal <\/strong><\/a>or transumbilical nephrectomy<\/strong><\/a>, organs are accessed via natural orifices (the vagina and navel, respectively) for their removal.<\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0Alcaraz\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> team developed this technique and they are considered a world reference, having carried out more than 100 interventions<\/strong>. Advanced surgery NOTES<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 prevents external scars, reduces postoperative pain and reduces hospital stay to 48 hours.<\/p>\n
