maybe this is a joke going over my head but you just described a liver transplant. what blew my mind was learning that they don't take the old liver out, they just squish the new one(the healthy liver sliver if you will) in and let it do it's thing

My understanding is that's the case with kidneys as well. If there's enough room, they don't bother removing the old organ because that just introduces more chances to make a mistake.
