Liver Transplant

There certain conditions that injure, infect or disease the liver to the extent that it needs to be replaced. These may include hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcoholism, liver cancer, and Wilson's disease.

Once the doctor determines you need to get a transplant, you have three sources wherefrom the healthy liver will be received. These include:

• Related living donors
• Unrelated living donors
• Cadavers

Once a donor is shortlisted, your blood and tissues will be matched with theirs to ensure that the transplant can be done. There is also a possibility of organ infection or rejection, and thus the patient will have to be observed for some time.

Liver resection takes approximately 3-5 hours and can be performed without the need arising for blood transfusion. The hospital stay is about 5 days and complete recovery takes approximately 5-6 weeks. The resected liver regenerates to its preoperative size in 6-8 weeks. Excellent results from liver resections can be expected.

Pancreas Transplant

The main function of pancreas is to make insulin, a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar (glucose) into your cells. If the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin, blood sugar levels can rise to unhealthy levels, resulting in type 1 diabetes.

In appropriately selected patients, pancreatic transplant is the only available cure for diabetes. Pancreas transplantation gives a significant survival benefit to diabetic patients who otherwise would expect a life expectancy that is one-third of the normal.

Rather than waiting till the organ becomes defunct, a pre-emptive transplant when the organ damage due to diabetes is evident, is a smart move. It seems to have a significant survival advantage.

Usually, when diabetes damages the pancreas and the patient needs a transplant, it is usually done in conjunction with kidney transplant – since type 1 diabetes is associated with chronic kidney failure.

After the transplant, your new pancreas should start working immediately, and your old pancreas will continue to perform its other functions.

If you have a new kidney, it'll make urine just like your own kidneys did when they were healthy. Often this starts immediately. But in some cases, it may take up to a few weeks to reach normal urine production. You may have to be kept under observation by the doctors and nurses till the new organs start functioning normally and any risk of infection/rejection is eliminated.

Once you are with us, your treatment and accommodation and post-operative care will be administered by us. Our experienced team of healthcare executives will arrange all your tests, collate the reports and ensure that all liaising is done smoothly and you receive the best of care in the warmest of surroundings at all times.

Heart Transplant

A cardiac transplant, also known as a heart transplant is a surgical procedure that aims to replace a failing or a diseased heart of a patient with a healthy one from a donor. One of the most common causes that lead to the need of this transplant is severe coronary heart diseases.

This transplant takes place in multiple operations i.e. the harvesting of the donor heart, removing the recipient’s damaged heart, implantation of the donor heart.

After the transplant, the patient is kept under observation to monitor the vitals and ensure that the recipient’s body is accepting the new organ and is functioning as intended.

Being a major surgical procedure, a heart transplant is kept as a last resort for the patient and is performed when no other alternative treatments show any signs of improvement in the patient.

Lung Transplant

Lung transplantation, also referred as a pulmonary transplantation, is a procedure in which a patient’s diseased lungs are either partially or totally replaced by lungs that are usually donated by another donor with healthy lungs.

In case of lung transplant, the lungs can come from either a living donor or even a donor that is deceased. For obvious reasons, a living donor can only donate one of their lung lobe.

The causes that lead to a need for a pulmonary transplant can vary largely such as a punctured lung, cancer related complications, cysts, any chronic pulmonary disease, heart disease to name a few.

With the help of advancement in the field of medicine as improved the recovery rates for the patients but it depends on the severity of the condition. A patient can live a healthy life with just one lung after complete recovery.

Bone Marrow Transplant

A bone marrow is a surgical procedure that is performed to replace the bone marrow of the recipient which is not functioning as intended.

The bone marrow can get damaged or stop functioning properly due to a lot of reasons including a particular disease, infection or even chemotherapy etc.

The bone marrow tissue is present inside the bone and is the site of regeneration for many cells in our body. Thus, a damaged bone marrow that is no longer regenerating the cells has to be replaced and provided with healthy stem cells to ensure its proper working.

There are a number of factors that are to be considered before operating on a patient like age, overall health, the condition and the type of transplant that is available.

It is one of the uncommonly performed transplant due to a variety of factors, primary of which being profound immunosuppresion required due to the ability of the intestine to elicit strong immune responses which can make it difficult for the recipient’s body to accept the donated organ.

Corneal Transplant

A corneal transplant is also known as a keratoplasty. This surgery is done with the aim of replacing a corneal tissue with the cornea from a healthy donor. It is also often called corneal grafting.

The primary objective of a corneal transplant is to restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. This procedure has a very high success rate and recovery in the patients.

The conditions that can be treated with a corneal transplant are thinning of the cornea, keratoconus, clouding of the cornea, swelling of the cornea, corneal ulcers, complications as a result of another surgery etc.
