In a rare medical procedure, the liver of a 10-year-old girl who died from a metabolic disease was transplanted into a 44-year-old woman at Beilinson Hospital in a domino transplant, reports N12.
According to N12, a domino liver transplant was successfully performed at Beilinson Hospital (Rabin Medical Center). The donor was a 10-year-old girl who suffered from a metabolic disease but whose organs were healthy. Her liver was removed and transplanted into a 44-year-old woman. The procedure, known as a domino transplant, is rare because the donor's liver, though healthy, carries the same metabolic condition, and is typically used only for recipients whose own condition is compatible. The transplant was successful, and the recipient is reportedly recovering. No further details on the identities of the donor or recipient have been released.
