Columbus, Ohio -Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center A comprehensive transplant center has performed a chain of 20 out of 20 surgery that requires kidney transplantation.
According to the WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER press release, the living kidney donor ported chains in a single facility were held for two days.
Each day, five donors and five recipient surgery were performed. The surgeon transplanted a healthy kidney from a different donor to 10 recipients who had been transplanting for years.
“This is one of the living kidney donor transplanted chains in the largest single facility in Japan, which was completed in one week. Such a large chain can help many patients in a short period of time. The resource required to complete the event is to commit and extend the patient's life through organ transplantation.
If you need a kidney, if you have a compatible blood or a living donor that does not match the organization, a pair of kidney donations will occur.
The transplant team receives compatible organs to form a chain by linking the pair of incompatible donors/recipient with other incompatible donors/recipe pairs.
The transplant swap begins with altruistic non -suitable donors. The final recipient is the transplant weight list.
The transplant team started planning this chain in October. When living donors and recipients were identified, the coordinator kept the chain closely with the patient.
A simple change in health condition like a cold or heat may have broken the replacement.
American Rajab, MD, PHD, and Kidney Transplant Director and Professor of Clinical Surgery in the Ohio State Medical School have led 10 -way transplanted chains and performed six donor surgery.
According to the organ procurement and transplant network, the transplant weight list has 10 4,840 people, and 90,506 people need a kidneys. Of these, 2,079 live in Ohio.
This ten -directional porting chain is considered to be one of the largest single facility chains in Japan.
