A 25-year-old Texas man, Dallas Wiens, has received the first full face transplant done in the United States at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, Reuters reported.
More than 30 physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and residents worked for more than 15 hours to replace Wiens' nose, lips, facial skin, and facial animation muscles and nerves.
He is expected to regain most of the sensation in his forehead and cheek on the right side, but less so on the left part of the cheek and forehead where damage was more severe, surgeons said. The surgical team was not able to restore his vision.
Wiens was disfigured in an electrical accident in 2008. (點擊路透社網(wǎng)站查看原文)
