Dr Robert Montgomery Pig Kidney Transplant
Dr Robert Montgomery recently tested a pig kidney’s transplant into a human.
They have successfully given a pig’s kidney to a person in a transplant hoping this could ultimately solve donor organ shortages.
Although similar tests have been done in non-human primates in the past, it was not done with people, until now. They also added that using pigs for transplant is not a new idea as humans are already widely using Pig heart valves. Apparently, pig kidneys are a good match when it comes to size, according to the surgeons.
Reportedly, the surgeons connected the donor pig kidney to the blood vessels of the brain-dead recipient to see if it would function normally once plumbed in, or be rejected.
After closely monitoring the kidney for two and half days, it was observed that the kidney basically functioned as a human kidney transplant.
