“The Hospital recently launched its cutting-edge kidney care unit, a significant milestone in the field of kidney transplant services within the region. Spearheaded by Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan (former Director of the Kidney Transplant Unit at Fortis Hospital, Mohali) and Dr KL Gupta (former HoD at PGI Chandigarh), the unit has already achieved a series of successful kidney transplants,” said Dr Prabhot Singh, Deputy CEO at Shalby Hospital, Mohali while addressing media persons, here today.
Dr Prabhot Singh said, “What sets this hospital apart is its innovative approach, allowing patients without a compatible donor to benefit from kidney transplants through ABO incompatible/swap or deceased donor procedures. He said, “A huge number of patients from the Jammu region have already been cured by successful kidney transplant by Dr Ranjan and he is a very familiar name here.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ranjan said, “We also follow a modern immunosuppression regime based on risk stratification for donors and recipients, resulting in a remarkable success rate of nearly 100 per cent with minimal rejection incidents. The hospital also runs a post-transplant fitness program called ‘Trans Care’, aimed at increasing longevity, preserving muscle mass, and minimizing side effects of immunosuppression.”
Dr G S Natt (Senior Consultant and Head of Orthopedics & Joint Replacement at Shalby Hospitals Mohali), who is an expert in the ROBO-N 3D Knee Resurfacing Technique (Robotics Assisted Natural 3D Knee Resurfacing), said this innovative technique is set to revolutionize the treatment options available for knee arthritis patients.
“The ROBO-N 3D Knee Resurfacing technique is a part of Shalby Hospital’s ‘Let’s Walk Again’ campaign. It combines surgical skills, artificial intelligence and augmented reality to provide a personalized treatment plan for each patient,” Dr Natt said, adding, with this technique patients can look forward to a fast-track recovery, natural knee motion and there is no need for blood transfusion.
