Organ transplants are undertaken at a number of Multi Speciality hospitals in India with the number of surgeries being conducted by doctors being in large numbers due to the sheer size of the population. Transplant surgeries include liver transplant, kidney transplant, heart transplant, lung transplant, pancreas transplant, and bone marrow transplant, supported by specialized transplant surgeons, immunosuppression protocols, and long-term follow-up care. India also performs living donor transplants and deceased donor transplants, following international transplant guidelines and ethical standards.
An organ transplant is required when an organ is critically failing and cannot be saved by other treatments. Considered an end-stage treatment, an organ transplant is necessitated by diseases and conditions that cause organ failure. Prime examples of these include liver cirrhosis, end-stage kidney disease, severe heart failure and advanced lung diseases.

Types of Organ Transplants
➡️ Liver Transplant: Highly skilled liver transplant surgeons and specialized transplant teams perform living donor liver transplants, employing advanced techniques like split liver transplantation and auxiliary liver transplantation. These procedures have a high success rate, providing a new lease of life to patients with liver failure. In this procedure, the damaged liver is replaced with a healthy one from either a donor who is a family member, so long as the donor’s blood type matches that of the recipient.
➡️ Kidney Transplant: Kidney transplant is a well-established procedure in India, with a large numbers of successful kidney transplants being performed each year. Kidney transplants are performed when the kidneys have failed and are unable to function properly – this is a condition known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The most common reasons for kidney failure include chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, polycystic kidney disease, and glomerulonephritis. The procedure involves replacing an affected kidney with a healthy one from a donor. Deciding the eligibility for kidney transplantation involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s medical history, overall health, and suitability for transplantation.
➡️ Heart Transplant: Heart transplantation is a highly complex procedure that involves replacing a failing heart with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. While heart transplants are challenging due to the limited availability of donor organs, Indian hospitals have successfully performed numerous heart transplants, giving a new lease of life to patients with end-stage heart failure. Advanced infrastructure, experienced cardiac surgeons, and comprehensive post-transplant care contribute to the success of heart transplant procedures in India.
➡️ Lung Transplant: Lung transplantation is a specialized procedure reserved for patients with severe lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Indian hospitals have witnessed significant advancements in lung transplantation, offering hope to patients. Highly skilled surgeons and pulmonologists perform both single and double lung transplants, using advanced surgical techniques.
