Overview
- The 36‑hour multi‑visceral transplant, completed on National Doctors’ Day, replaced the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, small intestine and right colon in a 30‑year‑old patient.
- Hospital officials said all five organs came from one woman declared brain dead at Osmania and that her family also donated eyes, skin, liver and a kidney.
- A multidisciplinary team led by surgical gastroenterology head Dr. Madhusudan Chintakindi performed the operation after consulting international teams and reviewing literature on roughly nine similar worldwide cases.
- The recipient had Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, prior major intestinal resections and severe malnutrition, and had been registered under the Jeevandan organ‑donation programme before the transplant.
- Telangana officials and the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization praised the surgery as a landmark for public healthcare and said the successful procedure may boost organ donation and complex transplant capacity in India.
