A unique lung transplant from a posthumous donor was performed in Lviv! This is the second such operation in Ukraine and the first one that our doctors performed independently without the help of foreign colleagues!
The operation lasted 16 hours!
Oleksiy Chernyshkov from Kyiv received the lungs. He is 56 years old. He is a liquidator of the Chernobyl accident. He had total bullous emphysema - he could barely walk 30 meters on his own. He is raising an 11-year-old son on his own. He decided to undergo surgery so that his boy could have a father.
Now he is breathing on his own and feels great!
The donor was a 54-year-old man who died as a result of a stroke. His family agreed to donate his organs to save his life. This decision allowed us to save not only Oleksiy, but FIVE lives! In addition to the lungs, doctors were able to transplant the heart, liver and kidneys! All operations were successful!
May the donor's memory be blessed. We are grateful to the family for their decision!
The historic operation was performed by the team of the First Medical Association of Lviv, headed by cardiac surgeons Roman Domashych and Ihor Humennyi.
