Achievements
On February 24, 2012, Serdar Nasır and his team successfully performed two important transplants simultaneously at the Hacettepe University Hospital, a full face transplant and a multiple limb transplant. While the full face transplant was the second one in Turkey following the country's first-ever one after almost one month, the two-arm and two-leg transplant was the first trial in the world. The face of 25-year-old Cengiz Gül was badly burnt in a television tube implosion accident when he was two-years of age. The donor was 40-year-old N. A. (his family did not allow revealing of his identity), who was declared brain dead two days before the surgery following a motorcycle accident occurred on February 17. The second transplant was simultaneously carried out in another operating room on Şevket Çavdar (25), who lost his two arms and two legs in a natural gas explosion caused by short circuit as he was carrying out installation in 1998. The organs were taken from the same donor at Dokuz Eylül University's hospital in İzmir by Prof. Gökhan Tunçbilek, and were brought to Ankara on board an aircraft belonging to the Ministry of Health. Şevket Çavdar died on February 27, 2012, while he was being treated in the intensive care station, after his transplanted two arms and two legs were amputated the day before due to immune dysregulation. This case was accepted as first quadruple extremity transplantation in the world. Awards
