The facial transplant recipient would be Andy Sandness, a 32-year-old who had tried to take his own life 10 years previously and immediately regretted the decision. He survived, but his face was left absolutely shattered. A team at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota told him that, if the ideal donor appeared, they could perhaps perform a facial transplant, which has been done only a handful of times around the world. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4325004/How-decision-donate-husband-s-face.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like

A multidisciplinary team of 60 medical professionals worked for 56 hours to transplant vessels, nerves, skin, bone and other tissue from Rudy to Andy, ensuring that they took proper breaks during the marathon surgery. Rudy's face took 24 hours to remove while Andy's surgery lasted a total of 56 hours. 1 Like

Dr Mardini inspects Andy's face in the days following the transplant; doctors had fitted him with a tracheostomy and stomach tube because be would not be able to eat through his mouth for several weeks to allow incisions to heal. 3 Likes

Rudy was not allowed to look at himself as his face began to heal. Here, he looks in a mirror for the first time, three weeks after the surgery, when he told doctors that the results 'far exceeded' his expectations. 1 Like

Dr Mardini looks on as Andy's face is shaved in the days after the surgery; the patient's donor, Rudy, could not grow hair on a small patchof his chin and Andy, too, has no hair in that exact location. 1 Like

Andy had hoped for a face that could blend into the crowd and would not frighten children; more than six months later, he never expected the results to be as phenomenal as they were following the surgery. 4 Likes 1 Share
