Centre for Organ Transplantation
39 DoctorsOverview
Organ transplantation is one of the significant advancements in medicine, offering healthy life back to numerous people all over the world. The organs can be either donated by a living human or procured from a brain-dead/deceased donor.
Transplants are broadly categorized into three types:
- Tissue transplants, which include blood and bone marrow
- Solid organ transplants, such as liver, heart, lung, kidney, small intestine, and pancreas
- Vascularized composite tissue transplants, which include hands, face, and the abdominal wall
Amrita performed its first transplant, a kidney transplant from a live donor, on 4 September 2001.
Since then, the centre has been regularly doing major organ transplants like liver, kidney, heart, small intestine and pancreas and has become one of the largest centres in India for transplantation services.
In 2015, the hospital made history by successfully performing the first and second hand transplants in India.
This Centre of Excellence has a well-organized transplant social worker network and has consistently led the state in deceased organ procurement.
Specialities
Composite Tissue Allotransplantation
Composite tissue allotransplant is a relatively new concept in the spectrum of allotransplantation. This includes transplant of hands, face and abdominal wall and in rare instances, tissues like penis, uterus and trachea. Out of these, hand transplants have been done more commonly.
Lung Transplantation
The lung transplantation service at Amrita Hospital is a multidisciplinary integrated service that drives it strength from the blessings of Mata Amritanandamayi and the skills and expertise of its core lung transplant team which are fortunate to have trained in internationally reputed lung transplant units in the World.
