Transplant tech maximizes donor-organ potential

GUANGZHOU — An organ transplant technique adopted by a Chinese hospital has garnered widespread attention for its potential to solve the problem of damage to donor organs due to lack of blood flow during transplantation.

The technique pioneered by Professor He Xiaoshun at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, was used during a surgery in December.

Organ transplant experts from Germany, the United States and the World Health Organization met at the hospital to observe the liver transplant operation.
