Chinese Surgeons Skilled At Replacing Lost Limbs
A report from Peking shows Chinese surgeons at Chi Shuei Tan Hospital performing limb reimplantations. A girl had her right leg amputated below the knee while her left foot remained usable, with the right foot placed on the left leg and an artificial limb fitted. The hospital notes 40 such operations in nine years with 27 successful, and says other hospitals train specialists for delicate nerve and vessel connections.
