PATIENTS

Pritish, a 7 year old boy was admitted at our hospital with advanced kidney failure owing to a recurrent urinary tract infection.

When Pritish was admitted he weighed a little of 15 kilos and his kidney function was less than 5% making it extra challenging for our surgeons. The child's father volunteered to donate one of his kidneys to his son. After internal deliberation, we performed a complex 7 hour surgery to bring him to safety. He was in post-op care for 7 days, after which he was discharged and is leading a normal and happy childhood.

One of the common causes of fracture among the elderly is osteoarthritis, the rate and severity of which increases with age making it all the more complicated for us. Our ortho geriatrics team immediately knew that Mr. Srinivasan had to undergo surgery to make him walk again. After careful consideration of risks to benefits, we decided to go ahead with the surgery. Within 5 days of surgery, Mr. Srinivasan walked out of the hospital, serving as an example for others to follow
