SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Surgeons at a San Francisco hospital have completed the final operations in an organ donation chain that has given six patients new kidneys.
California Pacific Medical Center spokesman Dean Fryer says the last three of six surgeries were successfully completed Friday.
The three surgeries Friday and three Thursday represent the largest kidney donation chain in the 44-year history of the hospital’s transplant center.
Fryer says all patients are doing well and are on their way to recovery with some who had surgery Thursday already walking around.
