      Is it really even effective? Sounds good but how do the tendons fuse and how well do the nerves work? I don't imagine someone doing much with those hands. Wonder how much the recipient looks like the donor. Bet it's fucked up for the donors family.

      The main problem in these type of surgeries is the problem of rejection. The immune system is suppressed for life time by using immunosuppressants to prevent the body from attacking donor parts. This affects the kidneys quite badly which could lead to situation of dialysis and kidney transplant!

      ​@@EthanSalter3 it doesn't look like the same face one it's transplanted. The natural structures underneath make it look pretty different on each person, so he won't be recognizable as the donor. Sometimes there are similar features but you wouldn't think he was the donor if he was just walking down the street.
      Also that puffiness goes away and the face gets a lot thinner and much less chubby after some time, so it will start looking natural once he's tightened up his nerves and muscles, and that will make it look even more different from both the donor and his old face. The donor is a hero and that part of him will take on a whole new life :-)

    They can anastomose the veins, arteries, and the like--but how do they get the nerves to reintegrate? Do they just heal by pure proximity? I wonder, do they just re-fuse if the cuts are clean and placed end-to-end? I can't believe they can sew them together and not cause more damage...

      Nerves do heal. It's a long process and they grow fairly slow but they do regenerate.

    It’s insane that we can just do this. Like this would’ve been impossible years ago
