BALTIMORE - July 7, 2009 Dr. Robert Montgomery of Johns Hopkins Hospital said he would
provide details at a news conference Tuesday with some donors and
recipients. A hospital official says 10 doctors performed 16
surgeries on eight donors and eight recipients at the four
hospitals, including Johns Hopkins.
In April 2008, Johns Hopkins surgeons transplanted half a dozen
kidneys simultaneously. Montgomery has spoken in the past of
bolstering a national kidney-swap program, saying it could help
ease the shortage of transplant organs.
