Pig kidney removed from Alabama woman a record 130 days after transplant
Doctors say they’ve removed a pig kidney from an Alabama woman after she lived with the organ for a record 130 days. Towana Looney has returned home to Gadsden after undergoing surgery a week ago. She is now back on dialysis, which is a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing.
