In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Nanavati Max Hospital in Vile Parle has performed Mumbai’s first multi-hospital three-pair domino kidney transplant of the year in collaboration with Sushrut Hospital in Chembur. The complex procedure has offered renewed hope to three patients suffering from end-stage renal disease, highlighting the potential of paired exchange transplants in overcoming blood group incompatibility.

The intricate series of surgeries involved six separate procedures, two organ retrievals and transplantations at Nanavati Max Hospital and one set at Sushrut Hospital. This synchronised effort united three donors and three recipients from different families, creating a domino chain that facilitated successful transplants across incompatible blood groups.
