Dr. Rahul Medakkar, the Group Chief Operating Officer at Star Group of Hospitals, remarked, "We are witnessing a transformative phase in Liver Transplantation in India. Today, at Star Hospitals, we celebrate not just a surgical success but a life saved.

The incredible journey began with Mahesh, a native of Kurnool, facing the dire consequences of end-stage liver disease, weighing 116 kgs, seeking a life-saving solution from Dr. Raghavendra Babu.
Initial evaluations indicated that Mahesh's condition fell beyond the standard criteria for a liver transplant. Despite his wife's willingness to donate, her liver size didn't meet the recipient's requirements. Amidst this, Mahesh's brother emerged as a potential donor. However, his history of alcohol-induced liver fibrosis rendered his liver unsuitable for donation. Meanwhile, Mahesh's health was rapidly deteriorating, making the prospect of waiting for a cadaver donor impractical.
The Dual Lobe Liver Transplant, an exceptionally demanding and rarely performed surgical procedure in India and even globally, exemplifies the complexity involved in such interventions.
Dr. Raghavendra Babu, reflecting on this arduous journey, stated, ï¿1⁄2When I realized that this was the only chance to save the patient's life, I focused on what I do best ï¿1⁄2 providing the best care to my patient. My heartfelt gratitude extends to my entire team involved in this surgery. I also want to acknowledge Dr. Gopichand Mannam, Managing Director, and Dr. Ramesh Gudapati, Joint Managing Director of Star Group of Hospitals, for their unwavering support throughout.ï¿1⁄2
The surgery, spanning 16 grueling hours, posed substantial risks to the patient, necessitating endurance through such prolonged surgical procedures. The operating room witnessed an unprecedented scenario, with three individuals undergoing surgery concurrently. Dr. Raghavendra Babu led the team, supported by Dr. Srinivasa Reddy, Consultant Clinical & Transplant Hepatologist, Dr. Raghuram Reddy, Consultant Hepatobiliary & Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Sunil, Senior Anesthesiologist, Dr. Bharath Kumar Nara, Senior Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist, and Dr. TV Aditya Chowdary, Senior Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist, all from Star Hospitals. The complexity of the case warranted the highest level of care for both the recipient and the donors involved.
Following the transplant, ensuring a balanced inflow and outflow of blood to both lobes of the liver became pivotal for the patientï¿1⁄2s post-operative well-being.
