No. They do not shove them to the side. That's ludicrous. The two original kidneys remain in place and will ultimately shrink and become completely non-functionable.. The new transplanted kidney is placed, typically, in the lower right abdomen which is then connected to the bladder. There will always be a small pooched out area visible where the new kidney resides. My son is a transplant recipient. We are forever grateful for his anonymous donor who left this world.
