Robot performed the first kidney transplant in England

Two British patients did not need morphine and quickly recovered from the first kidney transplant performed by a robot.

Siobhan Morris, 42, and Andy Brooks, 58, were the first English patients to undergo a kidney transplant performed by a robot. The operation was successful and they were discharged four days later.

The physician at Guy's Hospital controls the operation of the operation with the help of Professor Pranjal Modi, the Institute of Kidney Diseases, India, a leading expert in robotic implants.

According to Sunday Time, kidney transplants are made very accurate and less hurt. Patients only use paracetamol to relieve pain, while in traditional surgery they will have to inject morphine .

In traditional kidney transplantation, the doctor has to slit the lower abdomen under the patient to put the kidney to be donated. They then join the surrounding blood vessels to the kidney to maintain blood supply. Finally, the kidney's urinary tract is connected to the patient's bladder. This method of surgery makes the patient very painful when the morphine is gone, and the recovery process is very long.

Siobhan Morris suffered the first kidney transplant in 2007 with her donated kidney. Her second kidney transplant took place on 4/9 much softer. "I was very surprised." The pain was reduced by 80% compared to the first time because they did not need a cut .

Meanwhile, patient Andy Brooks initially used strong painkillers. He then switched to paracetamol. "Recovery time after surgery is much faster than traditional implants." The surgery took place on Saturday, Sept. 10. I was able to get out of bed and walk on Sunday, I was surprised. , Brook shared.

Doctors say that when patients undergo robotic surgery , patients will use little or no morphine to relieve pain, meaning that they may soon be able to return to exercise, feel better and recover better.

"The first patient did not need morphine, so she was discharged three days later , " said Dr. Nizam Mamode at Guy's Hospital.
