that our country is in the lead in number of donations of bodies around the world, and our professionals are pioneers in transplant techniques is something we have been hearing for some time. Well, this is not going to be there, but it is likely to go to much more, and now is going to take the next step by making the first transplant of legs double of the world.
This complicated operation will take place at the Hospital La Fe of Valencia, and the request for its realization has been recently approved by the Commission of transplants of the Council Interterritorial of the national health system.
the patient who will receive the two-legged suffers amputation of both legs above the knees, and also does not tolerate the use of prosthesis. For these reasons, in addition to by being a young person with all medical requirements, has considered the subject suitable for intervention.The patient has signed their consent, in the face of risks involved in having to treat it for life to avoid rejection.
In addition to health professionals belonging to the staff of the hospital who will participate in the pioneering intervention, the team of surgeons will be headed by the Fundación Pedro Cavadas professionals. With this speech, the history of experimental transplantation of composite fabrics made in our country is spectacular: bilateral three hands at Hospital La Fe of Valencia, three face (in the faith of Valencia, Virgen del RocÃo in Seville and Vall Hebrón, Barcelona) and one of legs bilateral.
