Surgeons Perform World’s First Human Bladder Transplant at UCLA

Ghoti Ichthus

Genesis 18:32, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Acts 5:29
When I was a kid, dialysis was considered "heroic."
Then kidney transplants from deceased.
Then living kidney donors (who then live with just one kidney)
Lots of different transplants these days, and dialysis is pretty routine.

Surgeons Perform World’s First Human Bladder Transplant at UCLA​

By Andy Corbley

"The first human bladder transplant was successfully carried out at University of California LA, an attempt that has been four years in the making.
There are naturally many unknowns associated with the procedure, which has previously only been done on cadavers, such as how well the transplanted bladder will function immediately and over time.
Bladder transplants have not been done previously, in part because of the complicated vascular structure of the pelvic area and the technical complexity of the procedure. However, urine drained immediately into the new bladder, and the patient’s kidney, which also had to be replaced, needed no post-procedure dialysis—the two worked in perfect tandem."
