Rick Slayman, the first person in the world to receive a genetically edited pig kidney transplant, has been released from the hospital, as reported by CNN. The Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed his discharge two weeks after the surgery, mentioning that he is in good recovery and will be continuing his recuperation at home surrounded by his family. In a statement released by the hospital, Slayman expressed his gratitude for the successful procedure, stating that leaving the hospital with a clean bill of health was a moment he had been waiting for years. He described it as one of the happiest moments of his life, now that it has become a reality. Slayman, a 62-year-old manager at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, had opted for the pig kidney transplant after being diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease. His medical team had previously suggested this option, and they remain cautiously optimistic about the longevity of the new organ, despite the uncertainties associated with animal-to-human transplants. This groundbreaking surgery marks the third instance of a xenotransplant involving a pig organ being transplanted into a living human. The first two cases involved heart transplants, which were performed under special regulations allowing the use of experimental therapies for patients in critical conditions. Unfortunately, both patients who received the heart transplants passed away shortly after the procedures. Slayman expressed his appreciation for the support he received following his surgery, particularly from individuals awaiting kidney transplants. He believes that his successful procedure signifies a new beginning not only for himself but also for others in similar situations, offering hope for a brighter future. https://obasanjonews.com/patient-who-received-pig-kidney-transplant-discharged-from-healthcare-facility/
