First American Liver Transplant performed at Apollo Hospitals, India
September 21, 2007

Mr Kevin, USA, had a chronic liver condition which was severely hampering his normal life. In the US with a long waiting period he felt that he was losing out on precious time. He chose to go to the JCI Accredited, Apollo Hospitals, India - Asia’s largest hospital group for his liver transplant and is today leading a normal life.

The Apollo group hospitals are multi specialty tertiary care facilities with centers-of-excellence in medical disciplines including cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedics & joint replacement surgery, neurology, critical care medicine, nephrology, oncology, hand & micro surgery and reproductive medicine.

The hospital has pioneered several cardiac and orthopedic procedures - including India’s first beating heart surgery in which the hospital maintains over 99Content-Dispositionuccess rate. The hospital is also the first in India to perform Lumbar Disc Replacement surgery, Total Knee Replacement surgery, Birmingham Hip Replacement Surgery and the Illizarov Procedure for limb lengthening. Across all specialties the hospital’s success record is on par – if not better, than its counterparts in the West. This is largely due to the hospitals eminent team of specialist doctors and surgeons most of whom are trained in the US or UK and also its investment in the latest diagnostic equipment such as 64-Slice CT Scan, Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), MRI, Linear Accelerator and Asia's largest sleep lab (polysomnography).
