Organ donor Kimberly Johnson donated one of her kidneys to her niece, Jennifer Gilbert. The donation was significant because doctors removed Johnson's kidney through her vagina, the first time such a procedure was done for an organ transplant. The doctors that performed the procedure stated that removing the kidney through a pre-existing exit route would help to reduce scarring and expedite healing for the donor.ScienceBlog: Surgeons remove healthy kidney through donor's vagina (February 2, 2009)
A Disputed Procedure
Although the Johns Hopkins doctors believed that removing the kidney through a pre-existing opening would be a less invasive procedure, other doctors raised concerns that the procedure was not sterile. Some doctors and researchers have called for studies to compare the safety of the NOTES procedures to traditional procedures.ScienceBlog: Surgeons remove healthy kidney through donor's vagina (February 2, 2009)Quotes
