The Seoul National University Hospital, with the support of the Georgian Embassy in Seoul, completed the first successful living donor liver transplant in Tbilisi in March, opening doors for more medical cooperation between Georgia and Korea.
SNUH surgeon Dr. Lee Kwang-woong performed the operation, together with a colleague, an anesthesiologist and a nurse who were all from Georgia. In the operation, 18-year-old Mariam Gobejishvili donated 60 percent of her liver to her 55-year-old father Gocha Gobejishvili.
Lee visited Georgia in February to examine the facility and faculty of the Aversi Clinic, where the surgery was performed, and gave the green light for the operation. The clinic purchased equipment from a list prescribed by SNUH.
