Raslouw Private Hospital in Centurion has successfully performed its first two living donor liver transplants, marking a significant milestone for the hospital and South Africa’s transplant services.
The procedures were led by Dr Imraan Sardiwalla, Lead Hepatobiliary Surgeon, and Dr Neha Kumar, Transplant Surgeon.
Both doctors recently completed intensive international fellowships at leading transplant centres, gaining expertise in advanced living-donor and ex-situ techniques.
Living donor liver transplantation involves two surgical teams operating simultaneously- one removing part of the healthy donor’s liver and the other transplanting it into the recipient.
The liver’s regenerative capacity allows both the donor’s remaining liver and the recipient’s graft to grow and regain full function.
Both donors and recipients are recovering well under the care of the hospital’s multidisciplinary intensive-care team.
CEO and Founder Dr IO Ebrahim described the achievement as a major step for the hospital and highlighted the potential of living-donor programmes to address South Africa’s shortage of donor organs.
Hospital Director Dr I Mitha and Hospital Manager Mrs Maryke Lotz also praised the medical and nursing teams.
Raslouw Private Hospital has established a new liver-transplant capability, expanding access to highly specialised transplant care in South Africa.
