Japan conducted its first transplant surgery involving a six year old donor who was declared brain dead and had donated his liver and kidneys.
Doctors at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Tokyo revealed that they have successfully transplanted the liver to a girl under 10 years of age who was suffering from hepatic insufficiency while the kidneys were transplanted in a woman over 60 years of age who had chronic glomerulonephritis at Toyama Prefectural Central Hospital in Toyama.
