Kidney Transplant and Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy
The remarkable work of doctors often appears almost unbelievable, yet it results in saving lives through extraordinary acts. This video from the public TV company "News" tells the story of 9-year-old Lilit and her mother, who selflessly donated her kidney to her daughter, offering her a new chance at life. This incredible achievement is a testament to the unwavering efforts and dedication of the organ transplant team at the "Arabkir" Medical Center.  
Surgeries with US colleagues
  Colleagues from the US, including Professor Paul Merguerian, a pediatric urologist from Seattle Children's Hospital, and pediatric surgeon Caitlin Smith, visited the “Arabkir” medical center during their regular two-week visit.   Working alongside our team of uro-surgical specialists, the experts from the US conducted over 40 consultations and performed operations aimed at treating rare developmental defects. These conditions included epispadias, disorders of sex development, adrenogenital syndrome, complex cases of hypospadias, as well as anomalies of the anus, rectum, developmental defects of the colon (Hirschsprung's disease), and acute purulent inflammatory diseases in the form of perirectal fistulas.   The operations were successful, and the patients are currently in the post-operative phase. We also provided separate consultation hours, not only for new patients but also for those who had previously undergone such procedures and are under continuous doctor supervision.
“Arabkir”-Belarus: Liver Transplant
  Professor Oleg Rummo and his team from the Minsk Scientific and Practical Center of Surgery, Transplantology and Hematology, paid another visit to the “Arabkir” Medical Complex. The primary focus of our 4-year cooperation is children’s liver transplantation. Besides discussing the details of new surgeries, the team also met with previously operated patients and their parents, evaluating the children’s condition.    The patient operated on during this visit was 14-year-old Rafael Khachinyan. The boy was diagnosed with liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and transplantation was indicated. The operation went successful, and Rafael is now in the post-operative recovery phase. His family is from the Tsaghkavan village in Tavush region. The total cost of operation was 19 million AMD, of which 5 million AMD was provided by the government, and the remaining 14 million was raised through the fundraising organized by the “Heath Fund for Children of Armenia”.    We are grateful for our patients, including Rafael, and all kind people who have contributed to this cause. Your donations have helped our children, their families and doctors in their difficult journey. Your support is truly invaluable.
