“Full Face” Transplant Sugery Performed in the USA (UPDATED)
Last week an amazing ground breaking surgery was performed to replace the face of a man who was left deformed by a high voltage power-line accident.
Doctors are hopeful that the first full-face transplant in the U.S. will give hope to battle-scarred veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars.
The ground-breaking surgery was performed last week at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, a teaching hospital associated with Harvard Medical School.
The patient, Dallas Wiens of Fort Worth, survived more than 15 hours of surgery by a team of doctors who attached an anonymous donor's nose, lips and skin to his facial muscles and nerves.
