Patient died after 'transplant surgeon error' in Welsh hospital

One recipient died after receiving an infected liver, while a 44-year-old received a kidney and pancreas and a 25-year-old parent from Wales received a kidney.

The patient, who does not wish to be named but is from south Wales, needed the donor kidney removing as an emergency after suffering extreme pain and extensive internal bleeding. The spill was not documented at the time of the procedure, meaning those receiving the organs and their doctors were unaware of the risk of infection.

The patient, who did not want to be named, said:"What angers me to this day is that fact that the surgeon who removed the organs from the donor wasn't honest.Prof Meghana Pandit, chief medical officer at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said:"This is a very unusual circumstance and we are keen to ensure that we do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again in future.
