Indore: Indore's feat of carrying out the first cadaver liver transplant surgery in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday has a history behind it. The preparations for the surgery had been on at Choithram Hospital for the last six to seven months. Hospital doctors, led by Dr Ajay Kumar Jain, collaborated with a team of doctors from Fortis Hospital, Delhi, led by Dr Amitabh Shrivastav, to harvest the liver from Chandrapal's body and transplant it successfully into Ajay Agrawal (60).
Gastroenterologist Dr Ajay Jain said, “The patient had a steady progress since the transplant and had recovered satisfactory to be discharged. It would take him at least a month more to get back to his regular chores. However, he will have to continue immunosuppressants and come for regular check-up at the hospital.”
