Surgeons managed to re-transplant a person's tissues after the patient began rejecting donor material seven years after the first operation.
French surgeons performed the world's first transplantation. A patient who received a new face seven years ago began to reject donor tissues, and the doctors decided to re-transplant. Before the new operation, the man spent about one and a half months in an artificial coma. The completion of the procedure was reported by The Local.
For the first time, partial transplantation of the facial tissues was possible in 2005, the patient was a Frenchwoman Isabelle Dinuar, who suffered from canine bites. After the operation, the woman lived more than 10 years and died of cancer in 2016.
The first patient who underwent a face transplant was a forty-year-old Frenchman. On November 30, 2017, doctors removed his uninfected face tissues, then the patient was injected into an artificial coma. The operation was held in mid-January 2018, it lasted almost all day. Officials from the French health system said:
"This transplant for the first time shows that re-transplantation is possible in case of chronic tissue rejection." To make a final conclusion about the success of the operation, doctors will be able to only in a few weeks.
Yeah, France is progress in medical therapy technology. This challenge is very impress our world.
