Dr. Ravi Mohanka of Global Hospital has successfully performed a complex liver transplant surgery on 8.5-month-old baby giving her a new life.
Dr. Ravi Mohanka, the best liver transplant surgeon at Global Hospital Mumbai, India and the expert team has successfully performed a very rare and complex case of liver transplant surgery on a lightest baby named Ipsa weighing 4.7 kg in western India. She was a newborn 8.5 months old baby from Surat who developed jaundice immediately after birth. According to Dr. Ravi Mohanka “, She suffered from a rare disease of the liver known as Biliary Artesia, where there are no bile ducts in the liver from birth. Her condition was getting worse as she was growing. As she was admitted after 3 months of birth the only option left was liver transplantation. Her parents were scared and still took the courage to let the baby go for a liver transplant. The baby was weak and underweight and anything worse can happen to the child so the immediate action to treatment was necessary. After surgery Ipsa is stable and active. ”
Dr. Ravi Mohanka with the team followed by Dr. Anurag Shrimal, Paediatric liver transplant surgeon and Dr. Vibhor Borkar, Pediatric Hepatologist at Global Hospitals performed the treatment on Ipsa from Biliary Artesia. As Ipsa was treated after 90 days from birth she was left with the only option of a liver transplant. Her surgery was successfully performed in June 2019 when she was just 4.7 kg in weight. The surgery became more challenging as liver transplant surgery was never performed on such a small baby with weight less than 5 kg. During surgery, she required only 30 ml of blood. Attention to every tiny detail was just as the baby was not carrying the weight needed.
Dr. Vivek Talaulikar, CEO at Global Hospital, Mumbai said, “This was the most unexpected situation of Ipsa that Dr. Ravi Mohanka and team has performed with dignity and proper understanding of surgery. Because of their years of experience and highly skilled training, liver transplant surgery on Ipsa was successfully performed. Team of doctors, surgeons, supporting staff made it possible for Ipsa to get a successful outcome. It was important for doctors to keep Ipsa away from infection as she could catch it. After surgery with a few days of hospital stay and proper medications gradually disappeared jaundice from Ipsa. She became more active, fun-loving, aware.
Mrs. Suchitra Valvi, Mother of Ipsa says, “It was a blessing for me to get a beautiful daughter Ipsa in my life. But as we got to know that she was suffering from jaundice and she required medical attention on an urgent basis, my happiness has disappeared. We visited Global hospital who gave us a ray of hope for our child. Dr. Ravi Mohanka understood the situation and told us that she is diagnosed with rare life-threatening condition of liver disease, and needs immediate liver transplant surgery. As parents, we were disheartened to see our child go through such an extremely painful surgery. But Global Hospital gave our child a new life with all their caring for doctors and staff members. We are grateful to all the doctors and members of Global Hospital who helped my child to overcome such a life-threatening condition.
