Aaron James, the recipient of the world’s first successful whole-eye transplant, acknowledges the scale of his experience as something truly monumental and transformative.
Dr. Bohdan Pomahač, a pioneering face transplant surgeon, praised the surgery as technically brilliant and a step forward in medical innovation, highlighting the team's contributions.
The surgery, lasting 21 hours, involved a comprehensive transplantation of the eye and surrounding facial structures, demonstrating advancements in surgical capabilities and techniques.
Dr. Daniel Ceradini emphasized that while the likelihood of restoring James's sight is low due to optic nerve challenges, the operation is a significant milestone in transplant research.
