Introduction
The Department of Renal Transplant Surgery at Dr. RPGMC, Tanda, is a center of excellence dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care in kidney and pancreas transplantation. Our highly skilled team of transplant surgeons, nephrologists, and allied specialists work collaboratively to offer comprehensive surgical solutions for patients with end-stage renal disease and other complex vascular conditions.
Recent Milestones:
- Inaugural Renal Transplants: On June 18, 2024, our department successfully performed its first two live-related kidney transplants. Both donors and recipients are in good health and recovering steadily.
- Pioneering Organ Retrieval: In March 2022, in collaboration with PGIMER Chandigarh, our team facilitated the retrieval of kidneys from a deceased donor, marking Himachal Pradesh's first organ transplantation. This initiative exemplified our commitment to advancing organ donation and transplantation services in the region.
Specialized Services:
- Renal Transplantation: Both living and deceased donor kidney transplants for patients with chronic kidney disease.
- Pancreas Transplantation: Restoring pancreatic function in select patients with diabetes and renal failure.
- Renal Autotransplantation: A specialized procedure for patients with renal vascular diseases.
- Vascular Access Procedures: Creating durable and efficient access for hemodialysis, including AV fistulas and grafts.
- Peripheral Angioplasties: Minimally invasive interventions to treat vascular blockages and improve circulation.
- Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Catheter Insertion: Enabling home-based dialysis options for kidney failure patients.
With cutting-edge technology, a patient-centric approach, and a commitment to excellence, our department strives to enhance the quality of life for individuals battling renal and vascular diseases. We aim to set new benchmarks in transplant surgery and interventional procedures while also advancing medical education and research in this critical field.

Key Future Goals and Innovations
- Expanding Deceased Donor Transplant Program
- Building on our recent success in organ retrieval, we aim to establish a comprehensive deceased donor kidney and pancreas transplant program.
- Strengthening organ donation awareness and networking with state and national transplant registries to increase organ availability.
- Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted Transplants
- Adopting robotic and laparoscopic techniques for kidney transplantation to reduce post-operative complications, shorten hospital stays, and enhance patient recovery.
- Exploring vascular and reconstructive innovations to improve surgical precision and transplant longevity.
- Advancements in Pancreas Transplantation
- Expanding pancreas transplantation services to benefit diabetic patients with renal failure.
- Implementing islet cell transplantation, a groundbreaking therapy that could eliminate insulin dependence.
- Enhanced Post-Transplant Immunosuppression & Tolerance Protocols
- Implementing personalized immunosuppressive regimens with novel biologic agents to minimize rejection and reduce drug-related complications.
- Participating in clinical trials exploring tolerance-inducing protocols, which may allow patients to live without lifelong immunosuppressants.
- Comprehensive Transplant Follow-Up and Telemedicine Services
- Strengthening long-term graft survival programs with advanced biomarker-based monitoring and AI-driven patient management systems.
- Expanding telehealth consultations for rural and remote patients to ensure continuous follow-up and post-transplant care.
- Academic and Research Excellence
- Establishing a dedicated transplant research unit focusing on emerging therapies, artificial intelligence in transplant diagnostics, and transplant immunology.
- Collaborating with national and international transplant centers for multicentric research projects and knowledge exchange.
Commitment to Excellence
With a strong foundation in clinical expertise and an ambitious vision for the future, we aspire to make Dr. RPGMC, Tanda, a leading center for renal and pancreas transplantation.
