Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and the anonymous donor who helped save his life has been released from hospital following his liver transplant.
Melnyk underwent a life-saving liver transplant on May 19.
“Mr. Melnyk’s recovery has been proceeding very well since undergoing his transplant,” said Dr. Atul Humar, the Medical Director of the University Health Network’s Multi-Organ Transplant Program in a statement released by the Ottawa Senators Wednesday.
“As with all of our transplant patients, Mr. Melnyk has been monitored closely by his transplant team and his general health has improved to the point where he can begin the next phase of his recovery. In addition, we are pleased to report that the anonymous donor has also been discharged and is doing extremely well,” said Humar.
Melnyk’s post-transplant recovery will require weekly follow-up with his transplant team and he has been transferred to a facility that will be providing him with daily rehabilitation services, according to the team.
“Mr. Melnyk and his family continue to be very thankful for all the support and best wishes received from the public, the media and the broader NHL family,” the Ottawa Senators release said.
Melnyk, who likely had just weeks to live without a transplant, received part of the liver from an anonymous donor after the team made a public plea on his behalf. More than 500 people applied to donate part of their liver to the multimillionaire hockey team owner. Twelve underwent intensive screening before a donor was selected.
