Surgeons Remove Kidney Through Vagina
02/03/09 - Unbelievable
“Surgeons removed a woman’s kidney through her vagina so she could give it to her ailing niece, an unusual operation they hope will encourage others to donate because it reduces pain, scarring and recovery time. Doctors at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said donor Kimberly Johnson, 48, and her niece, Jennifer Gilbert, 23, were both doing well following operations Thursday. “It was easier than childbirth,” said Johnson, who has three children.” w/ photo
