Inside Domino Kidney Transplant
Description
An American medical team has developed a remarkable matching system that brings kidney donors and recipients together in a kind of communal swap event. This program illustrates just how this innovative surgical arrangement, known as a "domino" or "daisy chain" transplant, is rapidly gaining favor among the medical community. Viewers watch as families, hospital staff, and a crack surgical team join forces for a day of simultaneous operations-swapping three kidneys, saving lives, and helping to change the future of transplant surgery.
