The Department of Surgical Disciplines and Department of Nephrology at AIIMS-Delhi, in collaboration with the Organ Retrieval Banking Organisation (ORBO), successfully performed a dual kidney transplant on a 51-year-old woman patient who had been undergoing dialysis. Dr. Asuri Krishna, an additional professor of surgery at the hospital who led the surgery, revealed this achievement to the media, emphasizing their decision to share it at this time to confirm the patient's well-being. Dr. Krishna disclosed that the donor was a 78-year-old woman who had been admitted to AIIMS Trauma Centre on December 19 following a severe head injury from a fall. Subsequently, she was pronounced brain dead, and her family granted consent for organ donation. The recipient had experienced complete kidney failure and was reliant on dialysis. During the procedure, the donor's two kidneys were transplanted heterotopically without removing the recipient's own kidneys, resulting in her now possessing four kidneys. Dr. Krishna reported that the patient's recovery has been positive, with her no longer needing hemodialysis and her transplanted kidney functioning normally. He emphasized the necessity for close monitoring of such patients, noting their favorable progress thus far. Due to the advanced age of the 78-year-old donor, a single kidney would not have provided adequate support for a patient requiring dialysis. Dr. Krishna disclosed that they addressed this by clamping the major artery and vein of the recipient to connect the first kidney, and then positioning the second kidney beneath it. Placing both kidneys on the recipient's right side posed a significant challenge, with both organs stacked on top of each other. However, the recipient experienced a smooth recovery, and both kidneys have been functioning effectively post-surgery, as confirmed by Dr. Krishna. Dr. Krishna highlighted that this uniquthey effectivelye surgery exemplifies the efficient utilization of limited resources to address the significant disparity between the demand and supply of organs in India. By utilizing organs from an elderly donor that might typically have been declined, bridged this gap.

A 27-year-old man from Africa underwent pulmonary endarterectomy at a private hospital in the city due to a serious pulmonary condition.
In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
