BBC reports that German doctors have learned to heal internal organs by separating them from the patient’s body.

Doctors have created a device with which it is possible to supply blood, or a special solution replacing it, with a liver or heart, as well as produce lung ventilation.

Experts have improved the device that is used to transport grafts directly from the donor to the recipient.

Most often a donor organ is transported in an ice container. However, in suspended animation it can be only 5-7 hours. The new device, according to the authors, can maintain normal human body temperature, and with it it is possible to treat organs affected by a tumor.

The device has already passed the test, during which doctors cured lung cancer by first removing it from the patient’s body.
