Multi-organ transplant for four-year-old
A four-year-old boy from Groningen has been given a new liver, pancreas, and large and small intestines in the first operation of its kind in the Netherlands.
The 12-hour operation was carried out at Groningen University’s medical centre. The child was born with a very rare intestinal disease, making it impossible for him to take in food.
