00:00Today we are celebrating the first case of successful transplantation in the history
00:09of Dubai and the history of the DHA for the case of kidney transplant.
00:16It has really after tremendous work from the team, from transplant team and fully supported
00:24from the Director General, His Excellency Meda Dutton.
00:28Insha Allah this will be the start and we continue for the transplant program for the
00:35kidney and for other organs insha Allah.
00:37There are already very clearly established criteria to decide if a kidney transplant
00:43should be done or not.
00:45The matter of fact is this patient was under dialysis, under, in the United States they
00:52use this expression, under a damned machine, not diamond, damned machine, under damned
01:02machine.
01:03Thanks for correcting me.
01:05Under damned machine the mean doesn't consent the patient a normal life because you have
01:10to take at least 3 or 4 dialysis sessions, 4 or 5 hours long and you cannot have a social
01:21life.
01:22So this is the type of life that you have to consider if there is a chronic end stage
01:32kidney disease.
01:33So this is the indication to transplant for everyone, for young, adult and old patients
01:39because we can transplant even patients over 75.
01:43Maybe in some countries they open the program also for patients over 80.
01:50I would say this is a little too much but over 75 there is no limit of age we could say.
01:59So I mean this guy, this guy was a young guy, I believe he was 27, 27 years old guy.
02:06This is a perfect, a perfect kidney transplantation.
02:10And considering the sister that she is 24, the best option for them should be, should
02:17be and was to have a living related kidney transplantation.
02:22Why was that so?
02:23Excuse me?
02:24Why was that a living related donor?
02:28She was the best match.
02:32This is the best option because I mean the recipient, I mean the waiting list for the
02:38recipient practically didn't exist.
02:44And the outcomes are much better.
02:46If you are in the waiting list for a new kidney, for a diseased kidney, you could wait 2 years,
02:504 years, 5 years.
02:53You know how many diseases, how many diseases we have in this country?
02:57This is the problem, this is the question.
02:59You know how many?
03:0016, 17.
03:03So I mean, how many transplants can you do with 16, 17 donors?
03:08So for how long was he on dialysis?
03:10Oh just a few, just a few months I believe.
03:13And how long did the procedure take?
03:15Oh the whole thing, the whole thing I could say around 3, 4 hours for the retrieval and
03:201 hour and a half, 2 hours for the transplantation.
03:23But now we could say that the length of surgery could be significantly reduced in the future.
03:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:37The 3D part of the surgery was done by Dr. Yasser during the nephrectomy because the
03:42nephrectomy was done by means of laparoscopy and they use a particular system that is a
03:483D monitor that is very nice for you because it looks like you are inside the body, you
03:58know, and you have a very nice vision of the elements, of the organs, of the vessels, of
04:04everything.
04:06But the transplantation is an open surgery.
04:10So I mean we don't need a 3D monitor.
04:12So how many hours was the transplantation?
04:14A couple of hours.
04:15A couple of hours.
04:16So from my side a couple of hours.
