Thousands of patients across India suffer from liver diseases – be it cirrhosis or liver failure. Very often, they get to the stage where the only form of cure and hope is a liver transplant.
Once a portion of the liver is donated, the rest will grow back to near-normal size within a few weeks, making liver transplantation from living donors a very safe form of treatment.
Liver problems can be caused by fatty liver damage (NASH), alcohol, drugs, and some metabolic disorders.
The couple went to Aster RV Hospital a few days ago and underwent the transplant shortly after. It took place successfully with the expertise of skilled doctors and surgeons supported by high-end medical equipment at the hospital. Often, infection and rejection after transplantation are the main obstacles to a successful outcome.
Dr. Naphene, Consultant Transplant Surgery, said: “Transplant surgery is complex, but it is also important to address the multimodal needs of such patients. We have great support. from the anesthesiology and critical care team – Dr. Arun V, Dr. Subramanyam SM, and Dr. Chinnadurai. Both husband and wife went through the surgery well and are fine now”.
Thanking the doctors, the wife said: “I am so glad that I was able to donate part of my liver to my husband and save his life. This happened only because of the great expertise of the doctors at the Hospital. Aster RV and their commitment me and my husband”.
The opportunity to give your loved one the extraordinary gift of life rarely presents itself, and when it does, family members are often the first to step in to save their loved one’s life.
This case is one such event. There is no better gift on Valentine’s Day and no better example of love than this. The patient thanked his wife for a new life and was also grateful to the doctors who showed considerable sympathy and sympathy for them.
