Bonobo,
I am not a cissy, but this image is a bit horror like for a layman. This shows that I am not a fan or very into the horror or torture movie scene or world.
I forced myself to look and understand that it is an advanced medical procedure and succes. It is very good for this man.
Thanks for posting and finding this topic.
Cheers,
Piete

I will change it into a link instead of live photo. Bonobo, I have looked at the image several times, and got used to it. But even after all the gruesome images of the world (sick images, crual images and sad images of suffering), this is a medical image. It is great that they could give this man his face back. I hope that the stiches will cure in time. This is reality, and some day we all may have to face less nice experiances in our lives. Like accidents, stabings, strange happenings and etc. Cheers, Pieter |

The five-hour-long operation allowed the 50-year-old patient, battling advanced bone cancer in his sacrum, hip bone and a large part of his pelvis, to avoid being bed-ridden for life.
"Had it not been for the state-of-the-art tech solutions, the patient would have faced an amputation of an entire limb along with nearly a half of his pelvis," said Doctor Jerzy Nazar, the head of the orthopaedics ward of the Heliodor Święcicki Medical University in Poznań, central Poland.
The custom-made 3D model, designed on the basis of the patient's x-rays and scans, took two months to make and cost up to PLN 70,000 (EUR 16,000).The patient is now recovering well and after up to six weeks of rehabilitation is to return to a normal life.

Polish Man Becomes First Person Born Without A Hand To Receive A Transplant Ben Taub 23/12/2016, 12:29 A 32-year-old Polish man named Piotr who was born without his left hand has received a transplant from a donor, in what surgeons have described as a world-first procedure. Previously, hand transplants had only been conducted on people who had lost one of theirs in an accident, but never on patients with congenital defects that resulted in them lacking a hand from birth. Over the course of 13 hours, doctors at Wroclaw Medical University attached a deceased donor’s hand to Piotr’s wrist, using titanium screws and plates to join the bones before intricately connecting up the muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels. Adam Domanasiewicz, who led the operation, told news outlets the procedure marks an “important breakthrough in neurophysiology and the practice of transplants because up to now it was thought that – in the case of this type of congenital defect – such grafts could not be done.” While the donor hand has not been rejected by the recipient’s body, he does not yet have full use of the new hand, and can only move the fingers. However, the team behind the operation are optimistic that over time Piotr will gain more control and dexterity, as well as being able to feel hot, cold and other sensations. www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/polish-man-becomes-first-person-born-without-hand-receive-transplant/ |
