Doctors at Dow University Hospital are currently performing live liver transplant surgery.
As per details, the liver transplant procedure is being broadcast live as part of the First International Conference on Transplantation. The operation, which began early in the morning, is expected to continue until 5 PM today.
The portion of the healthy donor’s liver, weighing 750 grams, has been successfully separated and will replace the liver of the 42-year-old patient from Shahdadkot.
The patient’s liver had been severely damaged and shrunk due to hepatitis B and D infections. The donor is the patient’s 23-year-old nephew, who is in good health.
Dr. Hassan stated that this marks the 190th liver transplant surgery performed under the Dow University of Health Sciences. Previously, the university has successfully conducted 189 liver transplants.
