00:00 A pig's kidneys are wheeled into an operating theatre, ushering in a possible breakthrough
00:07 in transplant surgery.
00:09 The operation was only made possible by the family of a man declared brain dead, whose
00:14 body was donated to medical science.
00:17 Surgeons say the organs have functioned successfully for 32 days, a record, and they continue to
00:22 monitor the success of the procedure.
00:25 The pig's kidney underwent one genetic modification before an operation which in the long term
00:29 could offer hope to patients with kidney failure.
