"Girl goes home after six-organ surgery"
A seven-year-old girl underwent 23 hours of surgery last month to excise a tennis ball sized tumor in her abdomen tangled around vital organs and blood vessels.
During the operation, the medical team removed 6 major organ in her: small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, spleen and stomach; and put back them except for the last three organs that had already been attacked by the cancer.
The miracle surgery was successful, and the girl is now well enough to go home. Dr. Tomoaki Kato, the lead surgeon, said that she will have a "big, long future ahead of her".
Dr. Kato is the organ transplant specialist who did the unprecedented operation on a 63-year-old Florida woman one year ago removing 6 organs to get to the tumor.
