Following the excellent results of the ICU doctors, the donor’s organs were recovered at “Agios Savvas” Hospital, while one renal graft was sent – according to the National Transplant Organization procedures – to the 1st Surgery Clinic & Organ Transplant Unit of G.H.A “Evangelismos” , run the Clinic’s Coordinating Director Dr. Spyros Drakopoulos. The kidney was transplanted to a woman aged 50, suffering from chronic kidney failure. The transplantation procedure, began a little after midnight and was concluded a few hours later by Dr Vasileios Drakopoulos and Dr Nikolaos Roukounakis, supported by Vassilis Kalatzis and Sotiris Voulgaris, members of the Organ Transplantation surgical team, and by the Anesthesiology Department & the Nursing Staff of the Hospital, under the Transplant Coordinators Ekaterini Balaska & Dimitrios Pistolas.
Our care is now focused on the best possible post-operative outcome in terms of the graft’s proper function and the recipient’s well being.
