Lucknow: In a moving example of sibling love, a 31-year-old man donated part of his liver to save his elder brother, 34, who was suffering from chronic liver disease and needed a transplant. The gesture gave the patient a chance at a new lease of life.“Donating a part of his liver was an act of love and commitment to his elder brother,” said the family.It was the first such procedure carried out at Chandan Hospital, led by Dr Ashish K Mishra, head of the Chandan Institute of Liver Transplant and HPB Surgery.“A full-time in-house transplant team comprising specialists in anaesthesia, critical care, gastroenterology, transfusion medicine, infectious diseases and radiology provided coordinated care throughout donor evaluation, surgery, post-operative recovery and long-term follow-up,” said Dr Mishra.
