Chinese man has face transplant
A Chinese man whose face was badly disfigured after an attack by a black bear received a partial face transplant today, in a cutting-edge medical procedure that a hospital statement described as a first for China.
A statement from Xijing Hospital, a military hospital in the central city of Xi’an, said Li Guoxing was given a new cheek, upper lip, nose, and an eyebrow from a single donor. No details were given about the donor.
