Dr. Eduardo D. Rodriguez, chief of plastic, reconstructive and
maxillofacial surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center talks
with reporters about the most extensive full face transplant completed
to date performed on Richard Lee Norris, pictured at right, after a news
conference on March 27, 2012 at the University of Maryland Medical
Center in Baltimore.
Norris marks the 23rd face transplant since the procedure pioneered
seven years ago. He received new teeth, tongue, upper and lower jaw and
facial tissue from the scalp to the base of the neck in what's
considered the most extensive full face transplant to date.
