Conversations That Make a Difference with Teresa Velardi: Successful Face Hand Transplant
World’s First Successful Face and Double Hand Transplant
In July 2018, Joe Dimeo was 20 years old and planning his future. One fateful morning, after working an extra late-night shift, Joe fell asleep at the wheel of his car on his way home. He lost control and rolled several times before the car burst into flames. He suffered third degree burns over 80% of his body.
Joe, after undergoing a nearly 24 hour surgery in 2021 is the world's first successful face and double hand transplant.
