70-Year-Old Man Successfully Treated for Severe Liver Cirrhosis at Visakhapatnam KIMS ICON Hospital

Organ transplants typically involve major surgeries and extended hospital stays, but performing a liver transplant with just a small incision is no small feat. The medical team at KIMS Icon Hospital in Visakhapatnam has made the impossible possible by successfully performing a liver transplant on a 70-year-old man suffering from severe liver cirrhosis. This breakthrough marks a new chapter in liver transplant surgery, according to Dr. Sachin Daga, the liver transplant surgeon at the hospital.

“Liver cirrhosis is a very serious condition that significantly affects the quality of life. In many cases, a liver transplant is the only viable treatment. Traditionally, such procedures require large incisions and long hospital stays, leading to prolonged recovery times and an increased risk of complications. However, our team, including hepatologist Dr. Chalapathi Rao and Dr Sharat P and  Dr Ravi S , Dr. Ravichandra Reddy, Dr. Paramesh, Dr Raghu , Dr Praveen  and other medical professionals, has adopted advanced methods for liver transplant surgeries. These methods allow us to perform complex surgeries with minimal incisions, reducing physical discomfort and enabling quicker recovery for patients,” explained Dr. Sachin Daga.

In this particular case, the patient was discharged just five days after the surgery and has since fully recovered, returning to his normal life. Dr. Sachin Daga expressed his delight at being able to perform such a significant procedure with minimal incisions. “Our primary goal is always to provide the highest quality of life to our patients while minimizing the surgical impact on their bodies. This innovative approach has brought about significant changes in liver transplant surgeries, opening new opportunities for life-saving procedures.”

The adoption of small incision techniques in liver transplant surgeries has further enhanced the hospital’s reputation for advanced medical services.
