St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group Limited - Annual Review 2007 Department - Surgery Liver Transplant Programme and Liver Unit The year 2007 was another very successful year for the National Liver Transplant Programme. A total of 59 transplants were performed on 49 patients. This number was slightly lower than 2006 but still represents a significant increase in activity compared to previous years. During 2007, we celebrated two very important milestones in the history of the National Liver Transplant Programme. In September 2007, we performed our 500th liver transplant operation and at the end of the year we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the commencement of the liver transplant programme. The overall success rate of our programme is in keeping with the best rates achieved in large liver transplant units throughout Europe and the United States. Organ donation continued at a very satisfactory level during 2007. A total of 80 livers were donated in Ireland during the year, a slight decrease from the 85 in 2006. However, the organ donation rate in Ireland still compares very favourably against most other countries in Europe. We are extremely fortunate to have a population who are well disposed to the concept of organ donation and who understand the great benefits of organ transplantation. The success of the National Liver Transplant Programme continues to result in an increasing pattern of referrals of patients with complex medical and surgical problems which do not necessarily require liver transplantation. Many of these patients can be treated non surgically or by types of surgery other than transplantation. This referral pattern has had highly beneficial effects on training for doctors, nurses and para medical staff at St Vincent’s University Hospital. However, it has also stretched the resources of many other departments in the hospital, including the Intensive Care Unit, the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and the Allied Heathcare Departments. Furthermore, this has placed great strain on the bed availability in St Brigid’s ward. During 2007, the National Liver Transplant Programme hosted the Annual UK and Ireland Liver Transplant Meeting. This was a great success and attracted medical and nursing staff from all of the liver transplant units in the United Kingdom, who came to Dublin for the two day meeting. It was with great sadness that we note the departure of Professor Cliona O’Farrelly from her post as Scientific Director of the Education and Research Centre. Cliona has been appointed to the prestigious Chair of Immunology at Trinity College Dublin and we wish her every success in her future role there. Cliona has made a most outstanding contribution to the research programme of the National Liver Transplant Programme over the past 15 years. Return to Contents 228
Department - Surgery Department of Ophthalmology Staff Consultants: Mr P Barry, Mr W Power, Dr E Chacko St James Ward: Sandra Murphy CNM2 Esther McCarthy CNM1 Ophthalmic Theatre: Medical Research Ophthalmologist: Ms Annette Cullen CNM2 Dr Aideen Hogan Surgical Registrars: Mr Tarik Saddiq Dr Princeton Lee Medical Registrar: Dr Magdy Nasralla Lecturers in Ophthalmology: Dr Jan Shotveld Dr Ruaidhri Kirwan Orthoptist: Unit Secretary: Vacant Post Ms Jane Caulfield The tables below summarise the department’s activity for the year 2007. Due to pressures from the Emergency Department, unfortunately some of the Ophthalmology cases have been cancelled or postponed but with the help of the National Treatment Purchase Scheme we hope to see this number diminish over the coming months and years. To challenge these erosions we have a day care cataract surgery but unfortunately a majority of our patients are in an age group with co-morbidities which makes it impossible. Our day care activity continues to expand and the provision of laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy is now extremely busy. We have commenced intravitreal injection of drugs to retard exudative age related macular degeneration and hope to develop a clean room delivery service for this on the ward itself rather than utilising the operating theatres as at present.
