Split liver transplant helps save two lives in Pune

(FILES) In this file photo taken on February 28, 2017 Surgeon Mario Alvarez Maestro (R) and an assistant prepare a kidney for a renal transplantation on patient Juan Benito Druet at La Paz hospital in Madrid. A Frenchman recently became the first person to receive a second face transplant after the first failed, and another made history by regrowing skin lost over 95 of his body, thanks to a graft from his twin brother. Transplants are no longer limited to the vital organs: heart, liver, or lungs. Nowadays, people can get a new hand... even a uterus. But some organs remain off-limits. For now. / AFP PHOTO / PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU (AFP)
