SMS Hospital's first 25 liver transplants under ILBS Guidance

Speaking over the success of their first liver transplant, Dr Vinay Tomar, organ transplant convenor of SMS hospital said, "We have developed the facility in the hospital for liver transplant which is available in very few hospitals in northern India."

For conducting the first liver transplant in the SMS hospital, ILBS had sent a 15-member team of doctors and other staff expert in liver and other organ transplant headed by liver transplant expert Dr Viniyendra Pamecha.

He further added that first patient of the liver transplant has been discharged from the hospital and after the 15 days of  being discharged and is recovering well.  "He came to the hospital for a follow-up a day ago. He is fine now," Dr Tomar said, reports TOI 

With the help and guidance of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences's experts, the SMS doctors will learn about safety and other technical details of liver transplant. The guidance will help the doctors in future to handle the complicated cases.
