A medical team in Türkiye performs what it describes as the world’s first simultaneous eight-way paired liver transplantation. According to Turkish reporting from Daily Sabah, surgeons at Inönü University’s Liver Transplant Institute in Malatya carry out the procedure using an “eight-way paired” approach, in which multiple donor–recipient pairs are matched so that each transplant can proceed in coordination with the others. Another report identifies Prof. Dr. Sezai Yılmaz as the lead surgeon and says the operation is carried out as a single coordinated event rather than sequential transplants. The sources describe the procedure as cross-liver transplantation that links multiple patients through a paired compatibility structure, enabling transplants across several individuals who otherwise could not receive organs directly. Both accounts characterize the case as a first in medical practice and focus on the coordination by the Turkish transplant team at the institute. No additional details are provided in the excerpts on patient numbers’ compatibility criteria, operation duration, or post-operative outcomes.
