Mr Sorells and his family decided to come to India as he was denied kidney transplant in USA because, he was a high-risk case due to previous major three surgeries (Radical cystectomy + ileal conduit, RPLND (lymph node dissection) for testicular tumor, TAVI procedure and above all aortic aneurysms + severely atherosclerotic pelvic beginning).
In USA his surgeon referred him to any center due to complexity of case and advised to look for a center where these complex cases are performed. When his case was referred to me and at the beginning, I was also taken a back and then after multiple discussions with my nephrologist/ anaesthetist and cardiologist we decided to proceed with work up.
Cherry on cake came when her daughter the only donor on CT scan found to have Three blood vessels in both kidneys. It was indeed a complex case which was performed successfully. I am sharing a happy moment of family with me after a successful kidney Transplant while returning back home . (Pic: Recipient (in chair), Donor - 2nd from right)
Grateful to Jennifer, the brave daughter, who donated her kidney to save her father.
