On Sunday, US doctors said that a nine-year-old girl is making a remarkable recovery, days after they transplanted six of her body organs in a pioneering medical procedure.The media reported that the surgery on young nine-year-old Alannah Shevenell, performed last Tuesday, sought to remove a destructive cancerous growth festering since 2008, and had attacked young Alannah’s six organs which includes her stomach, liver, pancreas, esophagus, small intestine and spleen.

Sources said that the US most highly regarded medical facilities at Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts, Boston performed Alannah’s surgery.

In a statement, the hospital said that for 100 days Alannah and her grandmother have been staying at Children’s hospital while Alannah received treatment for an extraordinary and aggressive cancer that was compromising several of her internal organs.

Head of the Children’s Pediatric Transplant Center, Heung Bae Kim, told media reporters that when all other treatments had failed, all of their medical experts suggested a multi-visceral transplant that would remove Alannah’s tumor and change the six organs that had been damaged by its presence.

Hospital officials said that the nine-year-old Alannah hails from the northeastern state of Maine, and she was the lucky one who received all the organs from a recently deceased child of the same size and blood type, and they were able to be transplanted at the same time.

Center’s director, Kim said that doctors expect that young Alannah will make a complete recovery and she will not have real any restrictions in terms of activity.
