The liver and kidneys of a girl, declared brain dead, were successfully transplanted on three patients at state-run SSKM Hospital here on early Monday morning, a doctor involved in the operation process said.
The organs of the 13-year-old Madhusmita Bayen were carried across 170 km and four districts by road - from Durgapur in Burdwan West district to Kolkata - in two hours after a green corridor was created for the transportation on Sunday.
Madhusmita's kidneys were transplanted on Abhishek Misra and Mithun Dalal in surgeries that concluded around 2:30 am on Monday, the senior doctor of SSKM Hospital told PTI.
Both were in stable condition and will be kept under observation for a few days, he added.
The girl's liver was transplanted on Sanjit Bala and the operation was over by 8 am.
Bala was currently on ventilation but his condition was otherwise stable and his body did not show any rejection symptom to the new liver, the doctor said.
Madhusmita, a resident of Mejia in Bankura district, had slipped into coma a few days ago at the Durgapur hospital and was declared brain dead on Saturday.
The organs were taken out by a team of doctors from the SSKM who travelled to Durgapur to carry out the process.
The corneas of the girl were also taken out and kept in an eye bank.
The girl's parents had said they had decided to donate her organs as that would help save several lives and make their daughter alive among other people.
