AIIMS Patna successfully performed a living donor liver transplant, the first of its kind in Bihar, after a wife donated a portion of her liver to her husband.
AIIMS Patna has performed a living donor liver transplant, marking the first such procedure in Bihar. The operation followed a successful deceased donor transplant carried out earlier at the same institute.
The transplant involved a wife donating a segment of her liver to her husband, a procedure that requires meticulous surgical planning and carries higher risk than deceased donor transplants.
Hospital officials said the success is expected to boost the number of liver transplant patients treated at AIIMS Patna, as more patients may seek living donor options.
The achievement underscores the growing expertise of AIIMS Patna in complex transplant surgeries and may encourage additional living donor transplants across the state.
