PARIS: A French surgeon has carried out the world’s first-ever successful transplant of an entire face, the daily Le Parisien reported Thursday.The 12-hour procedure was performed June 26 and 27 at the Henri-Mondor public hospital in Creteil, a suburb of Paris, by Laurent Lantieri.The patient was a 35-year-old man whose face had been ravaged by neurofibromatosis, a genetic illness in which the nerve tissue grows tumours. It is also known as ‘elephant man’ disease.The operation included removing the eyelids, their muscles and the tear ducts from an unidentified donor and grafting them onto the face of the patient, identified only as Jerome.

In April, a Spanish team of surgeons had claimed to carry out the world’s first face transplant, but their procedure did not include the eyelids and tear ducts. “He walks, he eats, he talks,” Lantieri said of Jerome. “His beard has already begun to grow on his new face.” The surgeon said Jerome was pleased with his new face. “The first time he saw himself in the mirror, he raised both thumbs,” he said.
