ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION
What does organ transplantation mean?
Transplantation means the transfer of an organ from a living organism or corpse. It can be performed in two ways: the transplant organ can be removed from the living body or from the corpse.
The most widespread transplantation in the world is kidney transplantation, to both adults and children.
Patients suffering from kidney failure can have a kidney transplant, because in this case the patients are on dialysis and only the organ transplant can help them.
It is important to know what actually caused kidney failure, both in adults and children. In adults, for example, hypertension and diabetes are some of the causes of kidney failure. In children, in general, the causes are genetic, and in the past no transplants were performed on children who weighed less than 10 kg. Nowadays, however, thanks to advanced technology, it can be performed even on children under the weight of 5 kg.
Organ transplantation has a 98% success rate.
What you need to know is that through a successful operation, those who do an organ transplant can live a normal life like everyone else. Children can have a normal childhood, adults, after transplantation, can have children and can continue life in a normal way.
We do more than just treat patients, we also educate them to provide a new direction for their lives.
We place as much importance on family and loved ones as we do on patients.
Besides Organ Transplantation we offer general surgery.

An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or balooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel. If the condition is not treated effectively it can lead to bleeding and in extreme cases death. They are known as “stealthy killers” and for this reason smokers and men over the age of 60 are advised to undergo ultrasound tests to detect the disease.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increase with age, in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs and limbs. PAD usually affects the arteries in the legs, but it also can affect the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the head, arms, kidney and stomach. Failure to intervene can lead to stroke and paralysis.
The main cause of diabetic infection are vascular disease and nerve damage. About 25% of diabetic patients experience some form of diabetic foot condition and we are fully equipped for their treatment both by means of surgical intervantion and in cooperation with the alternative.
