Every successful kidney transplant is not just a surgery… it is a restoration of life, dignity, and hope.

Happy to share another successful Robotic Kidney Transplantation performed at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, where the donor kidney had two renal arteries — a technically more challenging vascular anatomy requiring meticulous planning and precision during transplantation.

With time, as transplant surgeons, we continue to take on more complex challenges to expand the boundaries of what is possible and to offer better outcomes to patients who once had very limited options.

Key Benefits of Robotic Kidney Transplantation:
1. Very small surgical scar
2. Less pain after surgery
3. Faster recovery and mobilization
4. Better cosmetic outcome
5. Less Wound infections
6. Specifically beneficially for Overweight and Obese recipients

Despite the complexity of this transplant, the patient has recovered beautifully and is doing well with normal kidney function tests. Moments like these remind us how technology, experience, and teamwork together can transform lives.

Deeply grateful to the entire transplant team, OT staff, nephrologists, anesthetists, coordinators, and post-transplant care team for their relentless dedication.

Seeing patients move from dialysis dependency to a healthy, independent life is always overwhelming — and even more special when advanced robotic technology helps make recovery smoother and safer.

Some journeys in medicine redefine what is possible.
There was a time when Kidney Transplantation in HIV-positive patients was considered nearly impossible due to the delicate balance between preventing kidney rejection with immunosuppression
and avoiding reactivation of HIV infection.

Today, with advanced transplant protocols, precise immunological monitoring, multidisciplinary teamwork, and state-of-the-art care at Max Super Speciality Hospital Lucknow, we were able to successfully perform a Kidney Transplant in an HIV-positive recipient — and the patient is doing well more than a month after transplant.

Medicine continues to evolve.
What was once considered a contraindication is now becoming a carefully achievable possibility in selected patients.

This is not just a surgical success, but also a beacon of hope against all odds.

Theme: Steam, Laser & Precision: The Modern Urology Revolution and Kidney Health.
Honored to be part of an academic initiative shaping modern urology practice in association with Uttar Pradesh Diabetes Association(UPDA).
It was a privilege to deliver the keynote at a CME organized by Max Super Speciality Hospital in association with Uttar Pradesh Diabetic Association.
From Rezum therapy/HoLEP in BPH to laser in stone disease—we are witnessing a true convergence of technology and clinical judgment.
In my talk—
“Modern BPH Management: From Rezum Therapy to HoLEP — Cut Less, Cure More”
I emphasized one key idea:
👉 Right treatment for the right patient.
It was heartwarming to interact with learned physicians of the society.
Grateful to Boston Scientific for supporting this academic exchange and Uttar Pradesh Daibetes Association(UPDA).
Technology evolves… clinical wisdom must evolve faster.

Conducted a HoLEP training workshop on 23rd April 2026 focused on structured surgical learning and academic exchange.
Demonstrated 5 cases of Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate (HoLEP) across prostate sizes ranging from 50–80 grams.
All procedures went smoothly, with catheter removal on the next day and all patients recovered well with good urinary flow and no stress urinary incontinence at all.
Alongside the live surgical demonstrations, we had 4 academic sessions covering various aspects of HoLEP, which led to meaningful discussions and exchange of practical insights with fellow urologists.
Workshops like these are always enriching—not just for participants, but equally for the faculty through shared learning.
Grateful for the enthusiastic participation.
A sincere thanks to Boston Scientific for their support, and special appreciation to Ms. Shivani, Mr. Gajraj, and the entire team.
Immensely thankful to the entire Urology Team and administration for supporting the event.

Today at Max Super Speciality Hospital, we witnessed something truly touching —
50 kidney transplant recipients and their families came together as one strong, hopeful community.

This was not just a support group meeting.
It was a celebration of second life, resilience and courage.

Many of our patients shared their journeys — from the pain of dialysis and uncertainty…..to the hope, healing, and new life that transplantation brings.

Listening to them, I truly felt that each patient’s journey is like a book — filled with strength, faith, and inspiration.

We had the honour of felicitating every transplant recipient and their family, because behind every successful transplant stands a loving and dedicated support system.

I also shared a few words on how to take care of their transplanted kidney in the long term —
because a transplant is not just a surgery, it is a lifelong partnership between the patient, the family, and the transplant team.

I am deeply grateful to the entire Kidney Transplant Team at Max, and especially thankful for the constant support of: Dr. Megha Dr. Divya, Mr. Alok, Mr. Shyam, Mr. Sujeet, and our entire Transplant ICU Team —whose dedication and teamwork made this program a grand success.

Moments like these remind us why we chose medicine — to heal, to serve, and to walk with our patients for life.

Thank you to all our transplant warriors and their families for your trust and inspiration.

Together, we move forward — stronger, healthier, and hopeful.

In front of Holmium laser, prostate size(228cc) is just a number.

A 74-year-old gentleman from Haryana recently underwent HoLEP for a 228 cc prostate.

Ten years ago, he was denied surgery because his prostate was 100 cc.

This time, the challenges were even greater-
1. Advanced age
2. Coronary artery disease
3. Post-angioplasty, on blood thinners
4. Severe urinary symptoms
5. Prostate Size of 228cc

Many other centres, denied surgery as the risks and chance of complications were higher.

Discussed everything prior surgery, including the possibility of temporary incontinence with such a large gland.

At his follow-up visit, with tears in his eyes, he quietly said:
“Doctor sahab, dekhiye… kuch bhi nahi hua. Ab tak sab log bas dara rahe the.”

Few Moments like these reinforce a simple truth:
• Size, age, and comorbidities should not deny patients relief — careful evaluation and judgement should guide decisions.
• When expertise meets advanced laser technology, even the most complex cases can have excellent outcomes.

Grateful for his trust.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is common and treatable.
It can be linked to heart disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalance, stress, or medications.
Don't feel embarrassed—timely medical advice can restore your confidence and quality of life.

इरेक्टाइल डिसफंक्शन (ED) सिर्फ उम्र की वजह से नहीं होता।
इसके कारण दिल की बीमारी, डायबिटीज, हार्मोनल गड़बड़ी, तनाव या दवाएँ हो सकती हैं।
ED का इलाज संभव है।
समय पर सही सलाह से आत्मविश्वास और जीवन की गुणवत्ता दोबारा पाई जा सकती है।

What you give, comes back.

A patient noticed the cold, noticed me-and quietly gifted a woollen cap.
No words, no formality…...just care.

When we care sincerely, patients feel it.
And sometimes, in the most unexpected ways, they care right back.

Grateful for the trust, the warmth, and this beautiful human connection.
These small gestures often mean the most. 🙏

Some OPD days are overwhelming with the quality of work being done at Max Hospital, Lucknow.

Today, five different subsets of kidney transplant recipients followed up —all fully recovered, living normal lives, and doing well after kidney transplant.

Each recipient was different and with varied complexity:
1. A Robotic-assisted kidney transplant recipient
2. An ABO-incompatible kidney transplant recipient
3. An obese, high-risk transplant recipient
4. A Young recipient with multiple renal arteries requiring complex vascular anastomosis
5. Recipient who underwent Second Kidney Transplant

Moments like these reminds that kidney transplantation is not about categories or complexities—
it is about seeing hope and giving every patient a fair chance.

Such kind of OPD experience also strengthen the belief that complexity should never take away hope—when a kidney transplant is needed and possible, our team is there to ensure that it is accomplished with the best possible results.

Grateful. Humbled. Proud of the team.

Some days in medicine stay with us, forever.

At Max Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, we have successfully established a Robotic Kidney Transplant program using the da Vinci Xi platform—an advanced approach currently practiced by only a limited number of centres across India.
With full recovery of donor and the recipient after starting a Robotic Assisted Kidney Transplant Program, it truly marked the true establishment of this program.

Seeing such patients recover smoothly and return to normal life, completes the journey — not merely performing the surgery, but delivering its intended outcome.

Robotic kidney transplantation offers enhanced precision, superior 3D visualisation, minimal incisions, reduced blood loss, reduced chance of complications and smoother recovery—advantages that matter most when safety, outcomes, and complete recovery are the priorities.

I remain deeply grateful to Dr(Prof) Anant Kumar for his mentorship and guidance which has been instrumental in shaping this program.

This milestone reinforces a core belief: patients in Uttar Pradesh deserve access to world-class transplant care close to home, and we are committed to building that future responsibly.

Proud of my entire team. Grateful for the trust. Motivated to keep raising the bar.
