Craig is having a laparoscopic donor nephrectomy #ToGiveAKidney. #OrganDonation #OrganDonorHero pic.twitter.com/Ef9SqFegRn
The laparoscopic (key hole) part of the surgery is now underway. #ToGiveAKidney pic.twitter.com/AOs1aOTFMR- Laparoscopic #surgery is minimally invasive - only a relatively small incision into the body is required for this operation #ToGiveAKidney
The team are using images from a tiny camera in Craig's body to carry out the #surgery #ToGiveAKidney pic.twitter.com/2J9NnXo3I5- The team can see Craig's kidney and are cutting it from the surrounding tissue so that it can be prepared for removal #ToGiveAKidney
- Craig is under general anaesthetic but Nizam comments that his body is responding well to the surgery so far #ToGiveAKidney
- The team have identified the ureter and are separating it from the kidney. It's a very delicate process. #ToGiveAKidney
