Girl has six organs removed temporarily as a Japanese doctors take out large cancer.
日本の医者によって大きなガンを取り除き、女の子は6つの臓器を一時的に取り出してもらいました。
Heather McNamara was due to be discharged from the New York-Presbyterian children's hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday after recovering from her 23-hour operation more than a month ago.
The highly risky surgery, in which the child was effectively both donor and receiver of her own organs, has only been carried out once before but never on a child.
The team substituted a pouch made from intestinal tissue for her stomach. Without a pancreas, Heather will be a diabetic while the loss of her spleen will make her more prone to infections, but she will be able to eat normal food.
Mr Kato, a transplant specialist, said the surgery had been so hazardous that the girl's father had been prepared for surgery in case they were unable to save her liver and needed to use his.
