According to foreign reports, the man named David Savage, 54 years old, lost his right hand 32 years ago due to an accident. The newcomer transplanted to him came from an anonymous donor who died on the 29th. This is the third hand transplant in the United States to date. One day after the operation, Savage was in good condition.
The operation was performed at a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, and 32 doctors were involved in the operation, which lasted more than 16 hours. The surgeon, Warren Breidenbach, said that because of the long interval between the break and the transplant, Savage’s right arm has shrunk and the operation is quite difficult.
Breidenbach said: "It's like you have locked a house for 32 years. Now you decide to go back to take a bath and start to have trouble, but then you can."
Currently, Savage is still testing a new anti-rejection drug. The doctor said that if Savage's body and novice had a rejection reaction, the response should appear within 3 months to 6 months after surgery.
Breidenbach said that there are more than 20 hand transplants in the world, but Savage may be the one with the longest interval between hand and hand transplant. —— Information from: Xinhuanet
