Surgeons Perform World’s First Human Bladder Transplant at UCLA

Summary

Nutrition label

72% Informative

The first human bladder transplant was successfully carried out at University of California LA .

The patient had lost most of his bladder during a tumor removal, leaving the remainder too small and compromised to work.

Bladder transplants have not been done previously, in part because of the complicated vascular structure of the pelvic area and the technical complexity of the procedure.
