A group of Vietnamese and Belgian doctors have successfully performed a liver transplant on a 10-month-old baby, the youngest beneficiary ever in Vietnam, said a doctor of the operation team Monday.

The donor was the mother, Le Thi Van Anh, who has regained consciousness. The baby, named Le Anh Minh Khue, is still on life support but scanning has shown the liver in the baby is functioning well, according to Dr. Tran Dong A of Children’s Hospital 2 in Ho Chi Minh City.

A said the surgeons had a bit of a problem as the blood vessels in the mother and the baby are very different.
