A HOSPITAL in south Turkey yesterday was attempting the world's first triple limb transplant, attaching two arms and one leg to a 34-year-old man, the state-run news agency reported.
A team of doctors at Akdeniz University Hospital, in the Mediterranean coastal city of Antalya, was at the same time transplanting the face of the same donor onto another patient - a 19-year-old man. It would be Turkey's first face transplant. "Today could be a day of many firsts for the medical world," the Anadolu Agency quoted Dr Zafer Aydin as saying.
