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.

Mangaluru, June 14: Private schools under the aegis of Association of English Medium Schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi urged the State government to reimburse the arrears of the fee related to admission of students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Speaking to newsmen here on Sunday association president Y. Mohammed Beary said the State government has not cleared the arrears for the last two years. “The 400 private schools in two districts have to get around Rs 2 crore,” he said and added that the overall arrears that the government has to pay to schools in the State are around Rs1,200 crore.

Mr. Beary said arrears have made the school managements like his, who collect annual fees of about Rs 20,000 from a student, hard to function. Due to lockdown from March the schools could not conduct annual examinations and hence they could not collect pending fees from parents.
