Surgeons at the University of California, Los Angeles, have performed the first-ever human bladder transplant.
The complex procedure involved transplanting both a new bladder and a new kidney from a donor.
The surgeons first transplanted the kidney, then the bladder, and then connected the kidney to the new bladder.
The entire procedure took about eight hours, and the patient's kidney function improved immediately.
