Doctors in Faridabad, Haryana, achieved a significant medical milestone by performing liver transplants on two young girls, aged 10 and 11, who were afflicted with rare diseases - Wilson’s disease and an autoimmune liver disease. The innovative approach employed a bloodless technique, which involved reintroducing blood spillage back into the body, thereby obviating the necessity for external blood transfusions. Dr. Punit Singla, Director & HOD of Liver Transplant at Marengo Asia Hospitals, commended the young patients for their bravery and resilience throughout the complex surgeries. He emphasized the transformative role of medicine, collaborative teamwork, and organ donors in offering them a fresh chance at life. Among the patients, Baby Lachyn, 11, faced critical conditions due to Wilson’s disease upon admission, but the 12-hour surgery proved successful, thanks to the innovative bloodless technique. Similarly, the second patient, Aruuzatym, 11, hailing from Kyrgyzstan, also underwent a triumphant liver transplant utilizing the same pioneering method. Both patients’ fathers generously served as donors for the transplant procedures and were discharged within a week, while the girls required three weeks for their recovery before discharge. The adoption of the bloodless technique in these intricate surgeries has demonstrated its efficacy in mitigating risks and securing favorable outcomes for the young recipients. The medical team at Marengo Asia Hospitals has established a new benchmark in the healthcare realm through their innovative approach to liver transplants utilizing the bloodless technique. These successful interventions have instilled hope not just within the families of the young patients but also among medical practitioners and the broader community.
