New Delhi: A doctor of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) doctor who was accused of removing the kidney from a child has been given a clean chit. A high-level probe committee had been formed after the father of a 4-year-old child levelled the allegation against the doctor.
After the investigation, the panel found that the child did not have one kidney since birth. The committee said that there was no breach of standard protocols as it was a "rare case of congenital fusion of two kidneys."
The committee, in its report, also said that in this case, left kidney was grossly hydronephrotic and enlarged in size. "It was fused with the opposite kidney. The huge enlargement of the left kidney displaced the fused right kidney towards right side and hence on all preoperative imaging appeared as a normal kidney," it said.
Father of the six-year-old girl, Pawan Kumar from Bareilly, had alleged that a doctor at AIIMS hospital in Delhi had removed her both kidneys during a surgery.
His daughter was on dialysis since March 14. He had filed a complaint with the police in this connection. A committee of senior professors was constituted to probe the matter.
