Successful multiple transplant of six organs in a year and a half girl

At La Paz Hospital in Madrid, they have successfully performed a complicated operation in which they had to transplant no less than six organs to a girl of one and a half years of age. In Europe there are only two centers that are capable of performing this type of transplant in addition to Madrid, in the United Kingdom and in Paris.

The organs that were transplanted were the pancreas, liver, spleen, stomach, intestine and duodenum that came from a deceased donor less than six months old. The reality is that organ donations are necessary, they can save many lives, being reluctant to this type of behavior does not help anyone. The pain for the death of a loved one is very great but you have to be mental, donating the organs can be the salvation of many children and provide them with quality of life. The mother of the girl who has had the transplants is fully grateful, especially to the donor's parents, without a doubt, we share her thanks.

The hospital has achieved a great achievement, since in the four multiple transplant operations performed, the patients died, but for the first time it has been a success. The operation lasted no less than 24 hours and the surgery 11 hours, it really was a long and expensive process.

The girl suffered several problems and complications that resulted in a progressive deterioration of several of her organs, pweo now, thanks to the success of the intervention, there is a great life expectancy for the girl.

Congratulations to the entire team of La Paz Hospital.
