It’s the first.First, because the donor received this kidney fifteen years ago […] It is a surgical feat that Dr. François Godes has achieved with his colleagues because the transplanted kidney fuses with its recipient and it is very difficult to remove without damaging it. It’s more complicated, it’s longer and more dangerousDamian explains mskrit.
