Types of organ transplants

There are two main types of organ transplantation surgeries.

In deceased donor transplants, the donor organ is used from a person when he/she dies and his or her family donates the organ. Patients who need a deceased donor organ should get her/his name registered in the transplant registry of India, which maintains the database of all patients waiting for a deceased donor organ. In India the waiting time for a deceased donor transplant surgery is very long since there are many patients in India who are looking for a suitable deceased donor.
In a living donor organ transplantation surgery, the transplant surgeons remove a portion or complete organ from a healthy living person (donor) for transplantation into the patient (recipient). In India, the living donor has to be a first degree relative of the recipient or the patient who is compatible and willing to make the organ donation. Before accepting a candidate as a donor, the transplant committee thoroughly evaluates the donor. It is mandatory to obtain approval of the authorization committee, appointed by the government to undergo transplant surgery. The transplant team determines the suitability of the donor for the donation after studying the various aspects and performing a series of medical tests.

Some of the common organ transplant surgeries offered at our network transplant surgery hospitals in India

Liver transplant surgery in India :

Liver failure has many causes, like liver cirrhosis, biliary duct atresia, cystic fibrosis, early-stage liver cancer, hemochromatosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis and Wilson’s disease. Your liver can fail to perform its functions rapidly in a matter of weeks or it can also occur slowly over months or years. A liver transplant surgery is the last resort for patients suffering from liver failure. Liver transplant surgery is a meant for those patients who have end-stage liver failure and that cannot be controlled or treated using other any other treatment option. A liver transplant surgery is a procedure to remove the diseased liver of the patient and replace it with a portion of a healthy liver from a donor. Since only a portion of liver is removed from the donor body and the liver has the ability to grow, living-donor liver transplantation is possible.

Kidney transplant surgery in India :

 Your kidneys filter and remove excess fluid and waste from the blood. This function is very important to your body. When the kidneys lose their ability to perform this function then dangerous levels of fluid and waste get accumulated in your body. This condition is known as kidney failure and over a period of time this becomes a life threatening condition. There are many causes for kidney failure. Over a period of time you may need either dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.A kidney transplantation surgery is often the best treatment for kidney failure when medication and other conservative treatment options fail. In a kidney transplantation surgery your non- functioning kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney from your donor. Since only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys, living-donor kidney transplantation is possible.

In such a condition your doctor might suggest a lung transplant surgery. Alung transplant is usually the last-resort treatment for lung failure.In a lung transplant surgery, the diseased or failing lung form your body is replaced with a healthy lung from a donor.

Bone marrow is a special soft, flexible, spongy, fatty tissue that houses stem cells and it is found inside a few large bones.

The goal of BMT is to transfuse healthy bone marrow cells into a person after their unhealthy bone marrow has been removed. There are different types of bone marrow transplants depending on who the donor is. In India there are some very advanced and world-class centres for bone marrow transplantation. A bone marrow transplant is an expensive procedure and requires a longer stay in India.
