India’s First Bloodless Kidney Transplant Successfully Done at Moolchand (2011-05-12)
A first of its kind bloodless kidney transplant surgery has been successfully done at Moolchand Hospital, New Delhi, India on May 3. With this, Moolchand has set a new benchmark in organ transplantation. A dedicated team led by Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Senior Consultant and Advisor in Nephrology and Transplantation, Dr. H S Bhatyal, Senior Transplant Surgeon and Dr. Vijay Langer, Senior Consultant, Anesthesiologist has accomplished this feat with improvisation and innovation in healthcare with no blood products. All major surgeries as open heart surgery, kidney transplantation and brain operations integrally require blood transfusions during operative procedures. The requirement of blood during such procedures is a prerequisite component. Our team of eminent super-specialists took up the challenge and did this bloodless kidney transplant surgery for the first time in India with no blood loss and transfusion.
