The first bladder transplant in the world successfully performed in the USA
Oscar Laramzar received the bladder and kidneys from the same donor in the 41 and eight -hour operation. This innovation can convert patients with severe bladder disorders, which provides an alternative to artificial restructures or osteomy bags.

Surgeons in the United States have successfully transformed the human bladder, which is a worldwide invention, a turning point for patients with severe bladder disorders.
Oscar Laramzar, who has been dialysis for seven years, is the beneficiary of the conversion 41.
The person had to remove the bladder for many years due to cancer and then two kidneys were removed, explained California University Los Angeles (UCLA), one of the two universities involved in a statement.
Promotes results with immediate improvement of kidney function
Loranzar received the bladder and kidneys – from the same donor – at about eight hours of operation, at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital in Los Angeles (Southwest), California.
“Surgeons first exchanged the kidney, then exchanged the bladder and then connect the kidney to the new bladder using the technology they developed,” the university said.
Nima Nasiri, one of the surgeons, said the results were encouraging and almost instantly.
“The kidney immediately produced a large quantity of urine and the patient’s kidney function immediately improved (…) Dialysis is not required after the operation and the urine flows properly to the new bladder, ”he added.
“This surgery represents a historic moment in the Medicine Shadam and can change the treatment of patients with urban bladder,” the operation ided indoor gill insisted.
Operation took place after four years of preparation
The bladder transplant is considered very complicated, mainly for the area and a large number of blood vessels.
Therefore, patients are only offered to insert an Ostomi bag, an external prosthesis that can collect artificial rebuilding or urine of the bladder using the digestive system.
These intervents are effective, but they are “many short and long -term losses,” Gill said.
Nima Nasiri and Inderry Gill have been working for years in developing surgical technology to allow bladder conversion.
The first exchange takes place after preparation for more than four years and as part of the clinical trial, others should follow as part of the clinical trial that allows you to assess the advantages and losses of this type of operation.
