Paired Kidney transplants save two lives
Swapan Kumar Basu and Ratan Das, strangers till a few weeks back, got a fresh lease of life in a rare case of spousal paired kidney transplants at a Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute at kolkata.
Basu, 59, had suffered renal failure and was undergoing dialysis for the last three years.
Doctors had advised a kidney transplant but the blood group of his family members did not match with his.His wife Suchitra, 57, wanted to donate one of her kidneys to him, but her blood group (B negative) didn’t match his.
“I didn’t want to buy a kidney from a commercial donor and there seemed to be no hope for me,” recalled Basu, who was undergoing treatment at Wockhardt Hospitals and Kidney Institute.
Meanwhile Mr Ratan Das, a 43-year-old businessman from Howrah, was also undergoing dialysis since November 2008. He was facing a similar problem — his B negative blood group was a mismatch for his wife, Barnali, 35, whose blood group is A positive.
Barnali approached the doctors with a request for paired transplant.
“It was an ideal situation and after getting the necessary clearance from the state health department, we went ahead with the transplants,” said Arup Ratan Dutta, the chief nephrologist at WockhardtHospitals who performed the surgery along with urologist Shivaji Basu and transplant surgeon Sasanka Saha.
The transplants took place on July 28 and the couples are out of hospital. “They can go back to work in three months,” Dutta said. “The transplants saved two families from financial, emotional and physical drain,” he added.
According to doctors, tissue matching, although preferable, is not mandatory because of advanced immuno-suppresive drugs. “Tissue mismatch is not as significant as it used to be. So, the number of spousal donations is going up,” said Dutta.
Urologist Shivaji Basu from Wockhardt hoped this case would motivate others to opt for paired kidney transplants.

Doctors say renal transplant for patients whose blood groups do not match with near relatives becomes a serious problem as cadaver organ transplant is yet to become popular here.

11 Hour Liver Resection Surgery to remove Cancerous Tumor
Tuesday, September 1, 2009
Surgeons at Wockhardt Hospitals,Mulund ,Mumbai led by Dr S.K Mathur performed a major liver resection which took 11 hours when they operated on a 58 year old man to remove a cancerous tumor.
Mr R. Jain, a 58-year-old male from Jodhpur, Rajasthan was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his liver (Hepatocellular Carcinoma- HCC) in October 2006. What followed the diagnosis was a liver resection involving removal of a part of the liver containing the tumor.
Almost two-and-a-half years later, a follow-up ultrasound and a CAT scan of the liver revealed the presence of three new tumors, one of which was extending dangerously behind the IVC – Inferior Venacava, the big vein in the abdomen that runs behind the liver, carrying blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. Owing to the dangerous location of the tumor, doctors whom the patient was consulting advised against a second surgery, and had put him on palliative treatment in the form of TACE (Transarterial chemoembolisation) -- a procedure in which the blood supply to a tumor is blocked and chemotherapy is administered directly into the tumor.
While two of the three nodules could be treated with TACE, the nodule close to the IVC could not be embolised (blocked), thereby causing him untold mental distress and helplessness. That’s when the patient decided to consult doctors at the Wockhardt Hospitals’ Department of Hepato Biliary- Pancreatic Diseases and Liver Transplantation
“Since the tumor was limited only to the liver and had not spread anywhere else in the body, we took an informed decision to perform a Right Hepatectomy and remove the tumor behind the IVC,” recalls Dr. Surendra Kumar Mathur, Senior Consultant Surgeon, HPB Surgery & Liver Transplantation, Wockhardt Hospitals who successfully headed the 11-hour surgery.
This was a a technically challenging surgery since liver as such is densely adhered to other organs in the vicinity like the diaphragm, colon and the duodenum, and more crucially, a first surgery had already been done on the patient’s liver. The patient required three units of blood, was shifted from the ICU two days post operation, and was immediately started on orals. Patient recovery was uneventful and he was discharged on the sixth day of the surgery.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Jain said, “When I was told in the other hospital that the liver tumor has recurred and this time only palliative treatment can be administered and no surgery, we had almost lost all hope and became averse to any kind of treatment. I just took this as another decision of God and to take things as it comes. That’s when we encountered Dr. Mathur and his team who came as a miracle to our lives, giving me a new lease of life with this miraculous surgery.”
Liver tumors and complexities of re-resection surgery
Major or complex resections of the liver are performed mainly for malignant tumors of the liver which can be either primary, i.e. arising from the liver like hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or metastasis, i.e. they originate in some other organ and then seed the liver.
World over, though the recurrence of HCC liver tumor after first surgery is reported to be around 30 percent over five years, only one third of these cases are known to be retreated successfully. Commonly, many surgeons choose to avoid an excision surgery of a liver tumor very close to the IVC due to a possible life-threatening bleeding of the IVC during the surgery.
