An Experimental Model of a Partial Face Transplant in a Cadaver
Face transplant (FT) has evolved enormously in the last 10 years since the successful completion of the first facial transplant. This procedure has become a new reconstructive option for complex facial deformities to restore the anatomy of patients with severely disfigured faces. Fig.1 An experimental model of a partial face transplant in a cadaver. The initial problem on the knowledge of FT is common to other body transplants: to provide a basis for the study of the surgical technique. That is why in recent years, worldwide FT transplant teams have developed different preclinical research in experimental surgery on animals and cadaveric models. The pioneer teams have emphasized the importance of this preclinical work prior to the completion of successful clinical transplantation. Facial allograft transplantation (FAT) is a new field in reconstructive surgery that is still considered an experimental and exceptional procedure. Preclinical studies on cadavers have sought to find the best way to recover soft and hard tissues, muscles, nerves, and vessels of the donor face while reducing tissue ischemia to the minimum. Studies on cadavers have been performed with recovery simulations of lower, middle, and/or upper third face for FAT preparation and development either partial or total. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

Re: An Experimental Model of a Partial Face Transplant in a Cadaver
An early-90s episode of a mainstream comedy surprisingly had a scene like this. Well it was a glimpse and more the power of suggestion but the effect was you thought you were seeing the opening picture.
