The kidney transplant procedure involves 3 main stages:

• – First, an incision (cut) is made in your lower abdomen (tummy), through which the donated kidney is put into place. Your own kidneys will usually be left where they are unless they’re causing problems such as pain or infection.
• – Second, nearby blood vessels are attached to the blood vessels of the donated kidney, and This is to provide the donated kidney with the blood supply it needs to function properly.
• – Finally, the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) of the donated kidney is connected to your bladder.

After kidney surgery, you should be able to return to work and normal activities within a few months, provided you make good progress.
