Liver transplant possible without transfusion (Reuters)


Reuters - Surgeons in California have
succeeded in routinely transplanting livers without using blood
transfusions in the recipients. "If we can do liver
transplantation, which is one of the most difficult surgeries
in the abdomen to do without blood transfusion, then we can
pretty much do almost any surgery in the abdomen without blood
transfusions," Dr. Singh Gagandeep told Reuters Health.
