I have news from my collaborators at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston that our second paper describing our work using "digital surgery" to explore the perceptual consequences of face transplantation has been accepted in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. The manuscript is entitled "Partial face transplantation: Age considerations for matching donors and recipients." Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, Dr. Pejman Aflaki, and Dr. Charles Nelson are all co-authors on the manuscript. To read a bit about the real surgical scenario, you can check out the following link: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/10/boston.face.transplant/index.html, which describes Dr. Pomahac's work performing the 2nd U.S. face transplant. |
