Saturday came as a boon and historical day for Jaipur’s Swai Man Singh Hospital as the doctors here successfully conducted the liver transplant operation of brain dead Deepak. With this, Deepak gave life to 4 people with donating his main organs. Till midnight, various checkups were conducted for the donor as well as the patient. To avoid any sort of casualties, the liver was transferred through by air transportation.
Just before one day of the surgery, the plea for organ donation was granted. After the grant, various other checkups like cross match of the donor and the patient was conducted. When everything went up to the mark in the checkups, then operation for the liver transplant was conducted. After that, the operation for the heart transplant was conducted at AIIMS Delhi.
Both the donor and recipient belong to Jaipur only. Deepak belonged to Harmara village and met with an accident after which he turned brain dead. The youth was mere 26 year old. The recipient patient was suffering from Cirrhosis.
Brain dead Deepak have donated his heart, two kidneys and liver. The recipient of heart transplant is a 19 year old youth for whom within 2.5 hours, the heart was transferred via Indigo airlines. For this transfer, the flight took off 12 minutes before its regular timings. Within the span of 7 minutes and 52 seconds, the heart was transferred from SMS hospital to Jaipur airport.
The liver discussion decision was not new. Since, very long time the recipient patient’s family members were striving to get the transplant done. Deepak came as blessing for the cured patients as they got new life out of this brave decision of his family members. No matter what happens, it’s always hard for near and dear ones to take such arduous decision. For sure, Deepak will not get his lost life back, but his alive organs have become a reason to live for those who needed them the most.
