Provide a lifesaving donation

Your kidney donation can save the life of someone with chronic kidney disease.
Surgeons operate using cutting edge technology

Expert care

Piedmont has the first and only transplant program in the Southeast offering robotic donor nephrectomy.

Robotic transplant surgery is minimally invasive and allows trained physicians to operate more precisely through small, keyhole incisions, which provide better visualization than traditional laparoscopic surgery. These incisions typically take less time to heal than standard surgical incisions, and donors experience much less post-operative pain with lower chances of infection.

What to expect when you donate a kidney

Deciding to donate a kidney to someone with chronic kidney disease is one of the most selfless, lifesaving actions you can take. At Piedmont, our caring, highly trained transplant team is dedicated to providing safe, minimally invasive donor nephrectomies that allow donors to heal as quickly as possible.
