Dubai: The first liver transplant surgery has been successfully performed in Dubai, health department officials have announced. A 38-year-old woman underwent a liver transplant. On November 29, the family donated the liver of a brain-dead man at London’s King’s College Hospital. Their identity is being kept secret.
Dr Tashfeen Sadiq Ali, chief medical officer at King’s College Hospital in London, said the woman was reported to have been discharged following a four-hour liver transplant. Thank you to the donor’s family for donating the liver. Dr Ali also said that the patient was saved because he got the liver on time.
After being admitted to the hospital, the woman, who was struggling with severe liver disease, underwent a thorough review and diagnosis. Once the donor was received, the surgical procedures began. After surgery, the patient was kept in the ICU for 48 hours. He was discharged 10 days following surgery. She has since recovered. As part of the post-liver transplant care plan, the patient must take long-term medications correctly. Regular follow-up, including weekly blood tests, will be critical in ensuring the continued success of this historic liver transplant, Dr. Ali said.
