<p>A private hospital in the city has carried out four organ transplants within a span of 24 hours.</p>.<p>The transplants, made at Manipal Hospitals on Old Airport Road between March 10 and 11, involved two kidney transplants, an emergency cadaver kidney transplant, and a heart transplant from a cadaver.</p>.<p>Manipal Hospitals said one cadaver kidney was transported from Mysuru. It was from a 28-year-old man who suffered severe head trauma in a road accident, which resulted in him being declared brain dead. The transplantation was led by Dr Deepak Dubey, HOD, urology, and aided by Dr Shivshankar and Dr Somanna.</p>.<p>The cadaver heart was from a 21-year-old woman who was declared brain dead at Aster Hospital. The heart was transported in a green corridor from Aster to Manipal and the surgery was conducted under a team led by Dr Devanand. “The recipient was a young woman who had been waiting for a heart,” Manipal Hospitals said.</p>.<p>Meanwhile, there were already two other patients scheduled for live kidney transplantation on the mornings of March 10 and March 11. One recipient was a 17-year-old boy who had been on hemodialysis. His father donated a kidney. The boy subsequently underwent native nephrectomy and kidney transplantation in the same sitting.</p>.<p>The last recipient was a 27-year-old man whose kidneys had failed due to high blood pressure. He underwent renal transplantation with the donor being his father.<br />Manipal Hospitals said Jeevasarthakathe was instrumental in coordinating the transplants.</p>
