A 44 year old man named Razak was diagnosed with multiple blood clots in the portal vein and had been suffering from liver disease. Most of the doctors had given up hope, as it would be a very complex surgery. Dr. Thomas Cherian and his team at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, decided to operate and performed a caval switch transposition liver transplant; the 13-14 hours long surgery was successful. This technique was used for the first time in central India.
