Shanghai doctors have successfully carried out a liver transplant on 106-day-old baby. Haohao, becomes China's youngest liver-transplant recipient when the surgeons carried out a delicate, intricate and potentially perilous nine-hour operation and they excised part of the mother's liver and placed it in baby boy. This three and half months baby suffered from congenital biliary atresia, a condition where bile cannot drain from the liver due to an absence or closure of ducts which seriously hampered the liver by the disease. The mother, a Zhejiang Province native, donated 215 grams of her liver to save the boy.

Doctors said because the boy is so young, his immunity system is still in its primary stages, making rejection of the new organ less likely. A liver transplant in such a young patient is considered risky, as his arteries are only two to three millimeters in diameter.
