Worlds First 3Way Swap Liver Transplant | Dr Soin speaks to Barkha Dutt on the 12hr marathon surgery

55 doctors and nurses, six operation theatres at Medanta with a patient in each, Three of them were to donate their livers and three would be recipients in a marathon 12-hour surgery that would follow to accomplish a milestone - the country’s first successful three-way liver transplant swap.
Each donor was related to one of the recipients, but their livers were not being transplanted within the family since they weren’t compatible. So, transplant specialists decided on a three-way transplant, or a paired exchange, that all three families agreed to. Effectively, each donor was saving
two lives - of a stranger and a family member. The three recipients - all suffering from terminal liver disease - got the transplants simultaneously.
Three families with terminally ill patients gave each other a lifeline all aided by Dr Soin and his team at Medanta hospital.
Dr. A. Soin is a Padma awardee surgeon and pioneer in the field of liver transplantation. Currently, he is the Chairman of the Institute of Liver Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurgaon, India.
