16. Sergey loves the director's work, despite the fact that it takes away from time-consuming operations, which he does with pleasure. But it works, remaining because of his directorship of the institute up to 12 nights. And trains young surgeons who could replace him. It turns out he, too: shortage of young staff at the Institute there. Students perform what a few years ago, he could not charge anyone. While there he was forced to leave for a liver transplant mate to perform the final stage of the fence of the graft from the donor and then transfer it to the recipient. But Sergey believes that very soon this will be someone to replace him.



17. Interrupting a "sit-director's" director goes round. For children who have recently had a liver transplant. Their donor - father, mother, adult brother or sister.

To become a donor, you need to coincide blood and tissue compatibility was also. But this is not always enough. "In order to become a donor - it is necessary, first of all, maintain a healthy lifestyle, - says Gauthier. - Our men are often a long history of making beer, or they do every evening drink a glass of vodka. Cirrhosis is not such a person, but rather the liver is damaged. And here he comes and says:

 - Doctor, save my son. I am willing to be a donor.
 - And you can not be a donor.
 - As well? I am healthy.
 - You have liver or to hell. Here you grow thin for 10 kg, you stop drinking today, and in a few months we'll see what you'll be a donor.

The liver can recover. It needs a family who wants everything in it were alive. And, you know, guys sometimes take himself in hand, donors are very good. "



18. How are they going to live on? "Normally should live - meets Sergey. - Here, I have recently seen with our patient. 18. She gave birth to a healthy child only. We operated on her in 11 years. The donor was a father - a tractor. And the pope is also doing well. Still working".



19. And then to confirm him in the lobby - the guy. 7 years ago, he transplanted liver. It looks great, has a family with two children. It works driver.

21. For example, as it is today - on the meeting of the Commission for sending patients abroad for operations that are not made in Russia. Including organ transplant. Position Gauthier on this issue tough, "We can and are willing to do the transplantation children themselves. We lack the legal framework (and it appears after the adoption of the "Health Act", which was first spelled out children's transplantation, and then followed the Law "On transplantation of organs"). After all, when we send our children abroad, we have to save them, but deprives the child of a host transplantation. Donor resources anywhere a small, no country is going to save our children instead of their patients. "



22. At the beginning of the third starts the sake of what, and all work at the institute - an operation to transplant. On the eve of transplanted heart and kidney. Today - related liver transplant girl 2, 5 years. A rare case - waiting for the second child Mom, Dad did not fit on the blood group. The donor was the grandmother - 53 years.



23. Actually, the operation began a long time ago. More in the morning. There are two teams of young surgeons. Sergey has come to do as he was told, the most crucial stage.

26. The most important part of the operation is complete. Transplant (in blue basin) was transferred to the operating room to the girl.

After surgery Sergey admitted that the transaction from a donor for him - the most emotionally costly. "After all, the donor - a healthy person! We must not only get a good graft, which then will serve as a full liver in small or adult, but no harm to the donor. Operation must pass without any accidents related to the pressure drop, blood loss. Donor - an adult, a healthy person. If this operation when adult children give to parents of the liver - it's working men, it is women who are mothers. This fateful step. The donor then has to live completely full. "

32. A piece of the left lobe of the liver donor grandmother is standing in the corner in the basin cerulean. Why in the basin? (I, too, asked after the operation). "And what? - Retaliatory surprised Gauthier. - By the way, this is a special, medical bowl. Here in 1990, when we first transplanted liver, for carrying it bought a dog bowl. And when the Center surgeon makes the first heart transplant in 1989 - then it was transferred into an enamel pot with flowers. " And looking at my photos from the operating room, he suddenly asks the question: "Why, I wonder, in the basin of the holes? The first time they saw. "
