Dad gives part of his liver and bowel to save six-year-old son in rare transplant

Harry Jackson, a six-year-old boy from Cambridge, required a rare liver and bowel transplant due to congenital bowel abnormalities and a progressive liver condition. His father, Gary Jackson, donated part of his liver and bowel, making the procedure one of only around 10 such operations performed on a child globally. The 17-hour surgery took place at King's College Hospital in London after extensive testing confirmed a 98% HLA match between father and son. The transplant was necessary due to risks of volvulus and intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). The family expressed gratitude for the opportunity to save Harry's life and highlighted the urgent need for organ transplants among children.
