BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 22. Azerbaijan is
preparing to carry out the first robotic kidney transplant in the
Caucasus region, said Eldar Ahmadov, head of the Surgery and
Transplantation Center and deputy director of Yeni Klinika,
Trend
reports.
Speaking to reporters during a briefing on the hospital’s
first-ever robotic surgical procedure, Ahmadov noted that the
operation is expected to take place in the coming months.
Beyond modern equipment, Ahmadov said, the success of a kidney
transplant depends heavily on the experience of the surgeon and the
ability to secure the proper license to operate.
“After finding an experienced specialist and obtaining a
license, the kidney transplant operation will also be carried out
at Yeni Klinika. The necessary equipment and technologies have
already been ordered and are being brought into the country. This
process will take at most 2–3 months,” he said.
Ahmadov described robotic surgery as particularly well-suited
for organ transplantation, noting that it helps minimize blood loss
and reduces overall surgical risks.
Earlier on the same day, the Clinic performed its first robotic
surgical operation. The procedure also marked the first use of
robotic surgery within medical institutions operating under the
State Agency for Mandatory Health Insurance (TABİB).
