Urologists transplant healthy organs, such as kidneys, into patients with sick or non-functioning urinary system organs. Urology transplants kidneys, bladders, and ureters.
Urological kidney transplantation
is the most prevalent. It entails transplanting a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into an end-stage renal disease patient. Kidney transplantation improves quality of life, survival, and kidney function compared to dialysis.
Bladder transplantation:
In cases of non-functioning or cancerous bladders, bladder transplantation is a rare treatment. Reconnecting blood vessels, nerves, and ureters requires sophisticated surgery on a deceased or living donor bladder.
Ureter transplantation:
This rare technique transplants a healthy ureter from a donor to a recipient with a damaged or non-functional ureter. In cases of ureter damage from trauma, disease, or surgery, this is done.
