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.
