A two-year-old girl is able to
urinate autonomously thanks to a operation staged for the first
time at Turin's Molinette hospital in which her ureter was
replaced with the appendix. This made it possible for the girl,
who was born with just one kidney and has a rare congenital
condition, to pass urine from the kidney to the bladder via the
appendix. As a result it has been possible to remove the tube
that took urine out of her body and upon which her life had
depended.
