In other words, by targeting votersâ decision-making processes instead of the machines that record their decisions, Russia could influence the election without breaking into a single electoral computer.
The new liver is removed from the donor through a surgical cut in the upper abdomen. It is placed into the patient who needs the liver (called the recipient), and attached to the blood vessels and bile ducts. The operation may take up to 12 hours.
In the procedure, a healthy donor -- usually a blood relative -- undergoes an operation to remove a portion of his liver for the recipient. Part of a blood vessel in the leg is also removed to connect the donated liver portion to the recipient. The donor may have to remain in the hospital a week or longer as the liver begins to heal and regenerate itself. Full regeneration generally takes six to eight weeks.
