8 Organ Transplant

Sunday 21st March 2004 | by chris [mail] | Categories: Science

In a 12 hour operation a 7 month old girl was given a new liver, stomach, pancreas, small and large intestine, spleen and two kidneys.


The operation was conducted by Professor Andreas Tzakis, who said: "We are not at ease at all about the baby's condition and we're going to be quite nervous for the first year."


Dr Tzakis said: "To my knowledge this is the first attempt at eight organs."


Dr Tzakis performed the last record transplant operation, of seven organs, in 1997.
