PUNE: Liver transplant by a man from Aurangabad has
given a new lease of life to a 55-year-old in Pune who was suffering from
chronic liver disease.
This successful green corridor was created from Aurangabad
to Pune and the organ reached Sahyadri Hospital Deccan at around 10.40 am, in
about 3.5 hours (which normally it takes 6 hours). This was all due to the
combined efforts of Pune and Aurangabad traffic police.
Aurangad based man was admitted to a Hospital after he met
with an accident in Aurangabad on Monday late evening. The patient was declared
brain dead and the ZTCC (Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre) was notified,
who then according to the regulations allocated the Liver to Sahyadri Hospital
Deccan.
News broke to the medical team at Sahyadri Hospital Deccan
who soon made their way to Aurangabad to consult the family of the deceased
about Organ Donation. After receiving consent from the family, the liver of the
brain dead patient was harvested and transported via 'Green Corridor' from
Aurangabad to Sahyadri Hospital Deccan on Tuesday.
This liver transported from Aurangabad was successfully
transplanted in the 55 year old who was suffering from chronic liver diseases
at Sahyadri Hospitals, Deccan Gymkhana. Dr. Bipin Vibhute, Liver & Multi
Organ Transplant & Hepatobilliary Surgeon – Sahyadri Hospital commented,
"In a span of last few months, from its inception Sahyadri's Centre for
Organ Transplant has performed 11 successful liver Transplants. He further
added, "This is the second time in last few months when a liver has been
transported to Sahyadri Hospital, Deccan, Pune via green corridor for carrying
out transplant surgery".
Dr. Prashantha Rao, Liver & Multi Organ Transplant &
Hepatobilliary Surgeon – Sahyadri Hospital said, “The decision by brain dead
patient’s family to donate his liver to a needy patient is also worth
appreciating. It is very important to note that, through organ donation one man
can give a new lease of life to another man. Sahyadri Hospitals is trying its
level best to increase awareness about organ donation.”
Dr. Alapini Thopte, Manager operations, Sahyadri Hospital
Deccan Gymkhana commented, "Usually it takes 6 hours to travel from Aurangabad
to Pune, thanks to the green corridor created by traffic police."
