The Spring Festival is a happy moment of family reunion and warmth. On February 8, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the New Year's flavor was strong, and in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the medical staff gave up the reunion and raced against time to fight at work.
On this day, within 7 hours, two liver transplants were successfully completed at the same time, sending the "gift of life" to the two families and regaining a "new" life in the new year.
Ms. Li (not her real name), a painter, suddenly turned her whole body and eyes very yellow two months ago, with ascites and multiple organ failure. After being in the field**, there was no obvious improvement, so he came to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Transplant Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University for treatment, and was diagnosed with explosive liver failure.
A liver transplant was the only way to save Ms. Lee. Time is of the essence, and in order to reduce the waiting time, Ms. Li's lover decided to donate a liver for his wife. After a detailed and thorough preoperative evaluation, the couple met the surgical conditions for living-donor liver transplantation. At 10:30 a.m. on the 29th of the lunar month, in the operating room of the High-tech Campus of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, with the close cooperation of hepatobiliary surgery, operating room, anesthesiology, blood transfusion, ultrasound, intensive care medicine and other disciplines, this relay race of life officially started the "starting gun".
The operation was performed by Professor Sun Beicheng, President of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and an expert in hepatobiliary surgery, and the right half of the liver without the middle hepatic vein was split alive, and the difficult revascularization was carried out to reconstruct the donor liver vessel, and then the liver transplantation was performed. This technique is very difficult, but it is effective in preventing many postoperative complications and allowing patients to recover more quickly.
Donor liver separation, diseased liver resection, donor liver trimming, new liver implantation, vascular anastomosis ......After nearly 7 hours of hard work, Ms. Li's diseased liver was successfully removed, and part of her husband's liver has been successfully "settled" in her body.
The other is Ms. Yang (pseudonym) of Hefei, who has suffered from liver cirrhosis for five years. She was recently diagnosed with small liver cancer in the right lobe of the liver, and her condition took a turn for the worse, and a liver transplant was the only hope.
While anxiously waiting, Ms. Yang received good news from the OPO team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University: a donor was successfully matched with her!
On the same day on February 8, under the supervision of Professor Zhao Hongchuan, director of the Organ Transplant Center of the hospital, with the close cooperation of multiple disciplines, Ms. Yang's diseased liver was successfully removed, and the donor liver and the recipient veins, arteries and bile ducts were anastomosed one by one, and the new liver began to work in Ms. Yang's body.
After the surgery, Ms. Yang returned to the ICU to receive careful care from the medical staff and is currently recovering well.
According to Zhu Naigeng, head of the OPO (Organ Procurement Organization) Office of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, organ donation follows the principles of "voluntary" and "unpaid", whether the potential donor meets the donation conditions, and the medical standard evaluates whether the potential donated organ is suitable for organ transplantation; Immediate family members voluntarily sign various documents for organ donation in accordance with the law, and organs are obtained by qualified organ procurement organizations, and donated organs are distributed to the most needed patients for transplantation according to the Chinese human organ allocation and sharing computer system.
