Doctors of the First Medical Association of Lviv divided the liver to save the lives of two patients at once

This is a unique split operation, which was performed for the first time in Ukraine. Parts of the organ were given to two boys aged 1, 3 and 20 years.

A 15-year-old boy became a posthumous donor, whose parents made a difficult decision. Thanks to him, it was possible to save the lives of 5 people.

In addition to the liver, the heart and kidneys were also transplanted.

Exactly one week has passed since the transplants. All patients are doing well.

We thank our doctors for their work!
