Doctors successfully complete 50-hour-long face transplant
A team of US-based doctors recently announced that they successfully completed a near-total face transplant on 32-year-old Andy Sandness, who had attempted suicide in 2006, destroying most of his face. Doctors spent almost three years preparing for the surgery, which took more than 50 hours and repaired most of his face including the jaws, nose, teeth, cheeks and facial muscles.
