Kidney stolen in surgery, man claims

A man who said his right kidney was stolen at a hospital in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, during surgery to deal with injuries from a tractor rollover, got a new medical checkup in Nanjing after he sued for compensation of 2 million yuan ($307,800).

The man, Liu Yongwei, was checked at Nanjing General Hospital in the provincial capital. A panel of experts was invited to analyze the results, and a conclusion will be drawn soon.

Liu, whose right lung, right kidney, liver and bones were injured when his tractor turned over in June, was sent to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College for treatment.
