Face Transplant

University of Maryland doctors made history this spring by completing the most extensive full face transplant to date, including both upper and lower jaws, teeth and tongue. A team of more than 150 doctors, nurses and other staff took part in the 36-hour operation that changed the life of a Virginia man.

Lead surgeon Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez will talk about the extraordinary surgery, the years of research behind it and what it may mean for other transplant patients.
