"I'm happy. My dream came true. God used me as an instrument for the medicine to perform an operation that will save other lives," said an emotional Rosario Hidalgo Valenzuela, the first patient in Peru to have a multiple organ operation.
The surgical operation was held at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital in La Victoria, with a 32 person team, including doctors, nurses, assistants and technicians.
The operation took place on September 29th at 11:oo p.m. and finished the next day, at 7:00 p.m.
Rosario Hidalgo is 34 and 23 years ago was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, illness that made her dependent on insulin. As a result of such illness, she developed renal insufficiency in 2000, that effected her pancreas as well.
The doctors and the patient prepared for over a year for the surgery to be successful.
Rosario Hidalgo got the pancreas and the kidney from the same donor.
