Mother’s kidney saves her 2 year old child

A two-year-old suffering from life-threatening malignancy Hepatoblastoma had a successful liver transplant surgery at Yashoda hospital.

The hospital’s liver transplant team transplanted mother D Manasa’s kidney to the kid diagnosed with stage IV cancer Hepatoblastoma.

Chief liver transplant surgeon at Yashoda Dr Bala Chandra Menon in a press conference said, “Liver transplant was successfully performed for the child after harvesting left lateral lobe of the liver from his mother.

It was technically challenging and 8-hour long surgery. The baby was monitored in ICU ever since and was discharged ten days after that.”
