Gleneagles Hospitals, Lakdi-ka-pul, Hyderabad, has successfully performed three highly complex lung transplant surgeries in just 15 days, marking a major milestone in Indian organ transplantation and patient care. The surgeries were conducted across Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore for patients with severe lung conditions, including post-tuberculosis lung destruction and respiratory distress after liver transplant.
Advanced Procedures and Multidisciplinary Care
The surgeries were led by Dr. Balasubramanyam Govini, who managed a particularly challenging case involving intricate vascular and bronchial anastomosis, completed in under three hours. The team coordinated across over 600 kilometers to ensure swift transport of donor organs, minimizing ischemic time and maximizing survival chances.
“Our team’s dedication to innovation and patient-centric care made these successful transplants possible. Completing a complex anastomosis in record time demonstrates our surgical expertise and commitment to excellence,” said Dr. Govini.
Dr. Apar Jindal, Director of the Lung Transplant Programme, expressed gratitude to donor families:
“Their courage and selflessness have gifted our patients the invaluable chance to breathe freely again, restoring hope to entire families.”
Dr. Tapaswi Krishna, Transplant Pulmonologist, highlighted the collaborative model:
“Our surgeons, respiratory therapists, anesthetists, and support staff work together to ensure patients can return home oxygen-free with an improved quality of life.”
Dr. Obul Reddy, Consultant Pulmonologist, stressed the importance of preoperative management, donor protocols, and post-operative care, which are critical to patient outcomes.
