Mumbai, Nov 17: A liver was flown in from Indore's Bombay Hospital and was transplanted into a 62-year old woman from Mumbai who was suffering from liver cirrhosis and was considered critical.

The transplant was carried out at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. Meanwhile, the hospital also received two kidneys and a liver from a road accident victim. While one of the kidneys were transplanted into a 38-year old woman, the other was sent to a patient in Thane's Jupiter Hospital.
