3D Skull Transplant on 3 year old

[Randy W]

I thought this was amazing!

 

Chinese 3-year-old with swollen head saved by first ever 3D-printed skull transplant surgery

 

 

 

 

Hanhan suffered from several serious complications as a result of the hydrocephalus, including severe pressure in her head, poor blood supply, blindness, and ulcers on the thinning portions of her skull.

 

Doctors at the Second People's Hospital in Hunan province decided to initiate a ground-breaking "brain reduction" surgery that had not previously been successful.

 

The surgery, lasting for more than 17 hours, included a 3D-skull transplant, scalp reconstruction, and fluid drainage.
