Medical advancements in Córdoba transplant and surgery
Overview
Medical professionals in Córdoba, Argentina, are advancing specialized transplant and surgical capabilities. Initially, surgeons from Hospital Privado de Córdoba visited Hospital Central ‘Dr. Ramón Carrillo’ to establish a cooperation agreement for a new Liver Transplant Program and Unit, assessing infrastructure and intensive care facilities to create a sustainable multidisciplinary program.
Subsequently, medical teams from Hospital Córdoba and the Hospital de Niños de la Santísima Trinidad performed a pioneering minimally invasive pediatric surgery. The procedure addressed a complete biliary obstruction in a two-year-old girl who had previously undergone a liver transplant. By adapting a Rösch-Uchida device to create a new pathway through the obstruction via a four-millimeter incision, specialists successfully avoided high-risk open surgery. This intervention represents the first pediatric procedure of its kind in the province of Córdoba.
