			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Taken from BBC News today&#8230;</em></p>
<p>A team of 30 Spanish doctors say they have successfully performed the world&#8217;s first full face transplant.<br />
A man injured in a shooting accident received the entire facial skin and muscles &#8211; including cheekbones, nose, lips and teeth &#8211; of a donor.<br />
The man is recovering well after the 22-hour operation, said a spokesperson from Vall d&#8217;Hebron University Hospital.<br />
Another 10 face transplants have been carried out around the world, but this is believed to be the most complex.<br />
Hospital spokesperson Bianca Bont told the BBC: &#8220;This is the first total face transplant.<br />
&#8220;There have been 10 operations of this kind in the world &#8211; this is the first to transplant all of the face and some bones of the face.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Face transplants</strong><br />
Face from dead donor is removed in four hour operation<br />
Veins, arteries, skin, muscles, and bones are taken<br />
The patient is anaesthetised partway through surgery on the donor and any previous skin grafts are removed<br />
The donor face and accompanying blood vessels are stitched to the patient using complex microvascular surgery<br />
The man was operated on in March, but details of the operation have only just been revealed.<br />
He had been left unable to breathe, swallow, or talk properly after an accident five years ago.<br />
He was considered for a full face transplant after nine previous operations failed.<br />
A team of 30 experts carried out the operation on 20 March at the hospital in Barcelona.<br />
The man has since seen himself in the mirror and was calm and satisfied, the leader of the medical team, Joan Pere Barret, told a news conference.<br />
&#8216;Achievement&#8217;<br />
The first partial face transplant was carried out by doctors in Amiens, France, in 2005.<br />
Isabelle Dinoire, a 38-year-old woman who had been mauled by her dog, received a new nose, chin and lips.</p>
<p>Since then partial face transplants have been carried out in China and the US.<br />
British experts say the Spanish operation may be the most complex yet.<br />
It appears to include more bone and much more of the lower part of the face.<br />
A spokesperson for the UK&#8217;s Facial Transplantation Research Team, which has ethical permission to carry out a full face transplant, said it was &#8220;a tremendous achievement&#8221;.<br />
&#8220;This appears to be the most complex facial transplant operation carried out so far worldwide,&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;It once again shows how facial transplantation can help a small number of people who are the most severely facially injured and for whom reconstructive surgery cannot and has not worked.&#8221;</p>
