Heart Transplant
Heart transplants are an option when other ways to treat heart failure have not been successful. During a heart transplant, surgeons will remove the diseased heart to replace it with a healthy one. Mostly, heart transplants are done on patients who have end-stage heart failure.
Our team of experts will guide patients right from the first consult, through the treatment and post-transplant care. A multidisciplinary team of surgeons experienced in heart transplant surgery and advanced techniques of surgical management in heart failures, have helped numerous patients and have performed several breakthrough heart transplant procedures.
Staying abreast with modern scientific advancements in the field, our facilities offer patients access to congestive heart failure treatments, medications and heart transplant procedures long before they become a norm in the medical community.
Lung Transplants
A lung transplant is considered an option when
- A patient with lung disease is not responding to other forms of treatment
- The patient’s life expectancy is considered to be less than 2-3 years without such a transplant.
Further, such transplants are considered only for those patients with severe lung conditions- emphysema, pulmonary or cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and sarcoidosis.
Our lung transplant program aims to provide comprehensive care before and after transplantation, offering patients a chance at a longer, more active life. Generally, transplant pulmonologists and surgeons, specialists, and caregivers meet with the patient to diagnose and assess the right treatment plan. Patients will be briefed, so they understand the risks, and benefits of the proposed tailor-made treatment plan.
Liver Transplants
Known to be the largest organ in the human body, the liver digests food, stores energy and eliminates toxins/poisons from the body. Certain chronic ailments or other life-threatening conditions may lead to liver failures. When all other modes of treatment fail, patients may be advised to consider a liver transplant.
While healthy living donors may donate a part of their liver to a patient, most liver transplantations involve replacing a diseased liver with a healthy one (from a deceased donor).
Backed by state-of-the-art technology, our multidisciplinary experts in liver and biliary surgeries, adult and paediatric hepatology, hepatobiliary and transplant anaesthesia, critical care, interventional radiology and liver oncology routinely offer services such as pre-transplant medical assessments, surgical and micro-surgical specialised services, post-transplant intensive care and recovery, outpatient check-ups and lifetime medicine reviews.
Our services ensure that patients are given the comprehensive, individualised care they deserve.
Kidney Transplant
Patients suffering from kidney failure are generally offered two options- dialysis or a transplant. Kidney transplants are often more preferred since they can treat end-stage renal failures or chronic kidney conditions effectively, offering an opportunity for a healthier and longer life.
When compared with dialysis, kidney transplants
- Lower the risk of death
- Improve the quality of life
- Impose lesser dietary restrictions
- Are less expensive
Kidney transplants may be categorised as follows:
- Deceased donor transplants
- Living-donor transplants
- Preemptive kidney transplants
Our physicians and surgeons have successfully operated on hundreds of renal transplants that include expertise in donor-based (live and deceased), HLA sensitised, Paediatric, swap, dual-organ and preemptive transplants.
Pancrea Transplantation
Physicians may suggest a pancrea transplant in some instances of severe kidney disease or dangerously low blood sugar levels that are not controlled with insulin. Such transplants, in most cases, restore normal insulin production, improve blood sugar control in those suffering from diabetes.

The numerous pancrea transplants may fall under one or more of the following categories
- Solitary Pancreas Transplant
- Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas Transplant
- Pancreas after Kidney transplant
- Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplant
Our hospitals are well-equipped to handle all kinds of active pancreas transplantations. The modern and well-designed facilities feature experienced specialists who leverage the latest technology, modern medical protocols, path-breaking organ recovery and surgical techniques along with the best post-transplant care.
Bone Marrow Transplant
A Bone Marrow Transplant, often referred to as stem cell transplant is used to treat certain types of cancers - blood or immune system diseases that affect the bone marrow, leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Bone marrow transplants replace the bone marrow of the patient with healthy cells. Such transplants can happen either from the patient’s own body or from a donor. Some types of transplants are as follows:
- Cell therapy
- Allogenic and autologous stem cell transplants
- Cord blood transplants
- Out-patient transplants
- Amyloidosis or other rare disorders
- Paediatric treatments
- Haploidentical stem cell transplants
- Myeloablative conditioning
Our hospitals offer the expertise of a multidisciplinary team and a comprehensive, well-equipped facility that is backed by state-of-the-art technology. Our physicians will walk you through the options based on your diagnosis while offering a tailor-made treatment plan.
Intestinal Transplants
Intestinal transplants are often the only option for patients suffering from acute or chronic cases of intestinal failure. While alternative therapies are an option, complications such as liver disease and short bowel syndrome may lead to transplantation as the only viable option.
Patients will be evaluated extensively on a case-to-case basis while determining the right treatment plan. The types of intestinal transplants performed
- Only Intestine
- A modified multi-visceral transplant (several organs excluding the liver)
- A complete multi-visceral transplant (stomach, pancreas, intestines, liver, duodenum)
- A combined liver and intestine transplant (including pancreas)
Advanced research and improved medical technologies have led to better immune-suppressive regimens, surgical techniques and clinical management of pre-and post-transplant patients. Along with this, patients are allowed to be evaluated, supported and treated by a world-class team of medical and surgical specialists in gastrointestinal diseases, PN experts and transplant surgeons.
Cornea Tansplant
Transplantation of the cornea or corneal grafting is when the damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with corneal tissue (from a donor). Sometimes, the entire cornea is replaced and in other cases, a part of the cornea is replaced. Often completed as an outpatient procedure, such surgeries are overseen by a capable and experienced team consisting of ophthalmologists, surgeons and other caregivers.
Our facilities are known for the innovative approaches to saving vision through modern and advanced treatments. Surgeons from multiple disciplines collaborate to handle complex cases, explore the latest advancements in cornea treatments and provide comprehensive rehabilitation for patients.
Multi-Organ Tansplantation
Multi-organ transplants are procedures where diseased/failing organs are replaced with healthy ones, generally from the same donor. Patients will be considered for a multi-organ transplant when all other treatment methods have failed to improve their condition. Typically, a condition called Amyloidosis is the cause of multiple organ failure.
Thanks to the use of sophisticated technology and advanced medical and surgical expertise, our comprehensive organ transplant program takes care of complex procedures effortlessly.
Our facilities are well-equipped with skilled surgeons, experienced nutritionists, transplant coordinators, pharmacists and specialists in cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology and several other related specialities. Our experts aim to provide the best diagnosis, care before and after such transplantation surgeries.
