USC urologists ready to perform world's 1st bladder transplant
LOS ANGELES — Two urologists are on the verge of a major medical breakthrough — performing the world’s first bladder transplant in humans.
Dr.
Inderbir Gill and Dr. Nima Nassiri with Keck Medicine of USC say their research started a few years ago as patient visits slowed down during the pandemic.
“Lately, uterine transplants have been done, and the uterus is sitting right next to the bladder, so that got us thinking why not also explore the bladder,” said Gill, who’s the founding executive director for USC Urology.
They say hundreds of millions of people around the globe experience different degrees of bladder disease and dysfunction.
“The bladder is a bit forgotten in that other organs like kidney, heart, lungs, take precedence naturally, but you also can’t live that well without a bladder and so, I think the options that are available to those patients right now are very limited right now,” said Nassiri,
