Liver Transplant for Baby with Biliary Atresia

Baby Saanvi Shreshtha, from Nepal, had a case of jaundice right after her birth. Her condition worsened even after initial treatment. A couple of months later, she was diagnosed with Saanvi Shreshtha, following which she was operated on. Meanwhile, her jaundice recurred. At this stage, the parents consulted Dr. Vikram Kumar, Principal Consultant, Paediatric Liver Transplantation, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, Delhi, India, who confirmed Hepatomegaly. The baby was prepared for an immediate liver transplant procedure. The case was assigned to Dr. Subhash Gupta, Chairman, Centre for Liver & Biliary Sciences, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, Delhi, India, who performed the surgery. Irrespective of major challenges owing to her age and health, the surgery was successful. Her recovery was smooth, and now the child is living a normal and healthy life.
