Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Centre (PKLI&RC) has submitted a claim to Guinness World Records for performing 10 liver transplants in just over 23 hours. The procedures involved a team of 120 medical professionals and utilized innovative techniques to maximize organ utilization from a limited number of donors. This achievement included transplants for nine children and one adult, with all patients successfully discharged from the hospital. The institute highlighted the use of domino liver transplants and Auxiliary Partial Orthotopic Liver Transplants (APOLT) as key to this success.
This medical feat demonstrates significant advancements in transplantation medicine, potentially expanding treatment options for patients with rare diseases and optimizing the use of scarce donor organs.
