Doctors in an eastern Chinese hospital said they successfully performed the country’s first double lung-liver transplant surgery to save the life of a man.<\/p>\n

The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, in Zhejiang province described the combination surgery on Saturday as one of the toughest for transplant surgeons.<\/p>\n

The patient, identified as a man in his 40s, received the two lungs and liver from a female donor after being diagnosed with late-stage pulmonary fibrosis and late-stage liver cirrhosis.<\/p>\n

Two surgeons renowned for performing lung and liver transplants led the surgery, which the hospital described as timely for the patient who was “at his last gasp.”<\/p>\n

Doctors replaced the patient’s two lungs before proceeding to the liver transplant, a tough test for the newly transplanted lungs and medics alike, according to the surgeons.<\/p>\n

The hospital said they removed the respirator on Sunday after the patient reported a sound recovery in lung and liver functions.<\/p>\n
