City hospital performs rare surgery
Chennai:20.04.2021
Doctors at Rela Hospital have performed a liver transplantation without blood transfusion on a 3-year-old Ukrainian girl.
Milana was referred to the hospital with a critical medical condition. Since her family belongs to Jehovah’s Witness (followers of a Christian faith that prohibits use of blood or blood products during treatment) her parents asked for performing the surgery without blood transfusion, an official release said.
Hospital chairman professor Mohamed Rela said with liver failure blood does not clot and meticulous care was taken during surgery to reduce blood loss.
