Bartolomei Pesta from the Czech Republic underwent five organ transplants in a rare and pioneering lifesaving operation in December 2014. He was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver five years ago, and the condition caused damage to several of his organs. The 60 years old condition was so severe that in addition to a liver transplant he needed a new stomach, small intestine, spleen, and pancreas. Pesta waited eight weeks for the organs to become available, and underwent a 10 hour surgery at the institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague. He was discharged from hospital at the beginning of January 2015. Director of the transplant surgery department Jiri Fronek said, it is great to see him doing so well.” Pesta reported feeling great. “They have given me my life back,” he said, “everything is pretty much back to normal. I am on diet and have some restrictions, but I can essentially eat some normal food. Now I’m looking normal, feeling better, and I enjoy every day with my family”.
