Ms Anita (name changed) was a young lady who was determined to save her husband from the agony of undergoing dialysis once in two days. She had small kids to take care of and also had to support her family financially due to husband's ill health. She approached the doctors at Yenepoya with willingness to donate her kidney and a request for early discharge from hospital.

The Robotic Renal Transplant team comprising of Urologists Dr. Mujeeburahiman, Dr. Altaf Khan, Dr. Nischith Dsouza and Nephrologist Dr. Santhosh Pai decided to go for Robotic donor nephrectomy taking into account her request and the advantages associated with robotic surgery.

Robotic surgery is a procedure where in the operating surgeon sits on a console near the patient's operating table and controls the movement of instruments within the patient's body.

With this technique the surgery becomes very precise and accurate. That is because of the 3D imaging, magnification of 10 times and the dexterity of movements of the robotic arm.

The advantage to the patient is more than 10 times than that of a normal open donor nephrectomy. The donor will have minimal blood loss, small scar, less pain and more importantly they can resume their duties within few days time.

Lymphocyte cross matching facility has been started in Yenepoya Research Center (YRC) for the benefit of transplant patients in Mangalore which was until now available only in selected cities. Earlier Mangalore patients had to go to other cities or their blood had to be sent there.

Now since if is available in Yenepoya Research Center all the hospitals in Mangalore can send blood samples to YRC for cross matching facility. By providing this facility our cadaver transplants have increased at a faster rate.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
