Turkey’s first full face transplant carried out

According to the CNN, surgeons in Turkey have successfully carried out their country’s first full face transplant.

The recipient was a 19-year-old boy who had received severe burns in a fire, and the donor, a middle-aged man who had died in a rail accident.

Other surgeons are trying to make history by using the donor’s hands and legs as transplant material. The operation has been under way since Friday.
