A team of doctors at Medanta Hospital has successfully performed the country's first three-way transplant swap, or paired exchange, in which three patients simultaneously received life-saving liver transplants, the private medical facility said on Thursday. The surgeons who conducted the rare procedure included Dr A S Soin, Dr Amit Rastogi and Dr Prashant Bhangui, the hospital said in a statement.
This three-way swap involved three strangers - Sanjeev Kapoor, a businessman from Madhya Pradesh, Saurabh Gupta, a businessman from Uttar Pradesh, and Aadesh Kaur, a homemaker from Delhi - who had never thought of a shared destiny.
