Is it possible to get a hand transplant operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A few centers can do this procedure. The early results have been good for some, but some have lost the grafts. The potential recipient of a lost limb must undergo stringent medical and psychological testing to be sure they are right for such an undertaking.
