Washington: American doctors have done wonders for the first time in the world by transplanting a pig’s kidney into a human being. Before transplanting this kidney, American surgeons have also genetically edited it. After this the pig kidney was successfully transplanted into a 62-year-old patient. A large team of surgeons in Boston, United States, has announced the successful transplantation of a pig kidney into a patient. This is being seen as a big revolution in the medical world.
American doctors conducted intensive research for a long time before transplanting the world’s first genetically engineered pig kidney into a patient. After this the doctors did the transplantation. American doctors said this is the world’s first genetically engineered pig kidney. According to AP report, Boston doctors operated on a late stage kidney patient at Massachusetts General Hospital. Doctors performed this successful transplant after about four hours of surgery. Previously, pig kidneys were temporarily transplanted into brain-dead donors.
But unfortunately, two people died within a few months of receiving heart transplants from pigs. After this the doctors had put an end to it. But now the team of American doctors has done this new miracle. Now doctors will monitor this patient for many years. If this experiment is successful, it will benefit millions of kidney patients.
