Two sisters have made medical history by undergoing a kidney transplant through their vaginas using robotic surgery. Valerie Perez, 44, gave one of her kidneys to her 43-year old sister Beatrice Perez on July 9, with both of them in the operating theatre at the same time. The procedure was a world first because, using robotics, the kidney was both removed and transplanted through the vagina rather than via an incision, the standard method.
