Which transplant will be most dangerous for the donor?

Question

Or is there any medical problem the donor have that might make the surgury a dangerous one for the donor but he still can choose to donate it. Which means, is there any surgery that might have a greater negative impact on the donor than the patient?
Or is there any complication that might cause the donor to go into a coma?
And is there a condition whereby blood keep flowing out of wounds unless treated by professional?

Answer 1

The organs which are commonly transplanted from a live voluntary donor include the kidney and the liver. To a much smaller extent, a few centers use live donor pancreas transplants and small bowel transplants. Bone marrow is also donated but that is not really a surgical procedure. Of these the liver donation is probably the most dangerous for the donor. The risk of death for the donor is somewhere between 0.2 to 0.5% but we don't know the exact figure as some go unreported. The risk of significant complications such as bile duct strictures, leaks, pneumonia etc is also higher than with donation of other organs.
A donor may go into coma if there is a prolonged period during which the brain is not adequately supplied by oxygen. This is usually a complication of anesthesia rather than surgery. In case of liver donors there have been cases where the remaining liver has been too small or there has been a problem with the blood supply of the remaining liver and the ensuing liver failure would also result in coma.
Abnormal bleeding from wounds may occur if there is a shortage of clotting factors (hemophilia, patients taking anti-coagulants for other conditions) or if there is abnormal clotting in the circulatory system resulting in consumption of the cloting factors (disseminated intravascular coagulation). Liver disease also results in abnormal bleeding due to a shortage of clotting factors, many of which are made in the liver.

Answer 2

The most dangerous transplant for the donor is a LIVE donor of a solid organ, like kidney or liver or other donation because a live donation has the risk of complications including infection and in the worse case may cause death of the donor, although these complications are possible with any surgery.

Answer 3

There are really four "organs" that can be donated without causing the death of the donor. These organs are: kidney, Liver, Bone Marrow, and Skin (yes, skin is an organ). although really, you can't donate your entire liver, only part of it, and you can only give up one kidney. Usually, the donor does not suffer any ill effects from the loss of the organ itself, but may have complications arising from infections and damage to surrounding tissue. (This is what you would expect from any operation) I don't know about comas, they probably won't happen unless the function of the left over portion of the organ stops working (the one the donor keeps). There could also be complications with anesthesia or the drugs they may have to keep the patient on. And many things can cause wounds to continue to bleed, a very rare condition, called hemophilia, will keep blood from clotting, although the signs of this condition are very obvious and very rare. Oh, there's also Ebola, which depletes the clotting factors in your blood, but that's also rare, and fatal anyways. More common is the use of "blood thinners" or anti-coagulants. A common one is aspirin, but it should not cause inability to clot in small to medium doses. Be sure to mention that you are taking anti-coagulants if you are, as the surgeon must know this.

Answer 4

Most dangerous transplant are the one which includes major organ donation

How ever the selection of donor is done very carefully the person who are at risk surgery are not allowed to donate their organs

Most often the candidates who are selected are the one who can with stand surgery well

Now organ which can be donated Kidney, liver, bone marrow from living donor & from dead donor can donate eyes & heart & also kidney

Voluntary Blood donation is safest one which is to be encouraged

Now your question of coma is not an usual complication of donation

if your asking about comatose patient who has given permission to take his organ after his death then it is different issue where doctor will prepare such patient that even if patient does his concerned organ will not damaged and they can transplanted to other needy patient

Now bleeding is not to be worried for donation of organ because it not major problem to handle during surgery. Concerned doctor can mange them easily only rarely some complication can come

Answer 5

There are very few procedures that can be made using live donors. (These include partial liver, pancreas, intestine, and lung transplants, and whole kidneys. Blood, blood platelets, and bone marrow are also donated but are not considered organs since they are readily replaced by the body.) That being said, if there is a voluntary donor that has any medical issue that will be complicated by donation, they will be refused. Period. The wellbeing of the donor is given priority over the health of the recipient.

The complications of donating any organ are the same as any other surgery.

The condition of uncontrolled bleeding is called Hemophilia.

Answer 6

Any surgery of any type, no matter how minor carries risks. I don't know of any one surgery being more dangerous to the donor than the recipient. I assume you mean kidney transplant as that is about the only kind that could be made with a live donor. Check with the national donor registry about risks, etc or talk with a doctor. Being an organ donor is the best gift you can ever give anyone. It makes you a hero.

Answer 7

Hi I would think a heart donation would be risky.

Answer 8

The one that takes the longest to perform.

Answer 9

Brainectomy might be a little dicey.

Answer 10

any operation is dangerous
