It is noted that 15-year-old Katya from Kryvyi Rih received a kidney transplant from her mother. The kidney transplant operation lasted almost seven hours. The specialists worked simultaneously in two operating rooms. Almost 30 doctors from the Dnipropetrovs'k Family Health Center and Okhmatdyt took part in the operation.
The girl underwent the transplant on Friday. Doctors reported that she is feeling well and is already making plans for the future. The doctors' prognosis is optimistic.
After the therapy is restored and adjusted, the mother and daughter will be able to return home, where they have not been for more than four months.
That's how long the family fought for Katya's life when it turned out that her kidneys were not working. The girl underwent many examinations, grueling dialysis procedures, and eventually won.

In Lviv's Okhmatdyt Hospital, specialists from Ukraine and the United States successfully performed surgery to form the palate from the cheek of 11-year-old Ilya from Khmelnytsky Oblast, who suffered from a congenital facial deformity.
