World-class surgical expertise in renal transplantation for end-stage kidney disease.

Kidney Transplant Surgery

The Gift of Life

For patients suffering from End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), a kidney transplant is often the best treatment option, offering a longer, more active life free from the constraints of dialysis.

Dr. Athar Hameed brings exceptional surgical precision to both living donor nephrectomies and recipient transplant surgeries, ensuring optimal vascular connections and graft survival.

The Transplant Journey

Recipient Evaluation

Rigorous medical testing to ensure the patient is healthy enough to undergo surgery and tolerate immunosuppressive drugs.

Donor Nephrectomy

A minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure to safely remove a healthy kidney from a living donor.

The Implantation

The healthy kidney is placed in the lower abdomen, and its blood vessels are meticulously connected to the recipient's.

Post-Op Care

Close monitoring of kidney function, urine output, and immunosuppression levels to prevent rejection.

Why Choose Dr. Athar Hameed?

Transplant surgery requires the highest level of urological and vascular expertise. Dr. Athar's meticulous surgical technique minimizes ischemia time (the time the kidney is without blood), giving the new organ the best possible start.
