Intentional.

Both kidney and spleen filter blood, although spleen is not essential and can
be removed (splenectomy). Sacrificing the spleen, the surgeon used the spleen
vessels to connect the kidney to the blood circulation. Reading the Italian
news, the vessels of the other kidneys were in bad shape.

Does that mean that we could implant a third kidney to people in the future?

Since the transplant recipient requires immunosuppression anyway it's probably
a good trade off.

Should there be a renaming here?

It's not intentional clickbait, but my brain did catch that title very quickly
and proceded as fast as it can to make assumptions.

Both titles here[1] are better in my opinion.

That's not racist. Italy is not a race. It is an indictment of the medical
competency in Italy based on his perception of their system. I wish people
would stop throwing that term around so loosely. If you don't like what he
said, then actually form a coherent rebuttal. Not that his comment was much
better than your own... just making a point here.
