Liver transplant performed using portions from two donors
Doctors in the northern city of Padua have performed a liver transplant operation using two portions of liver taken from two different living donors, Azernews reports, citing ANSA.
Unlike in a traditional living-donor liver transplant, when 65% of the liver is exported from a single donor, in this case the donors gave 25% each.
The recipient was a 52-year-old woman and the donors were her nephews.
