Surgeons in Spain have performed the world's first ever double-leg transplant in the city of Valencia.
The man suffered injuries in an accident that resulted in him losing both his legs below the knees. "It is the first time in the world that such a transplant has been carried out," said the region's health authority. The doctor in charge of the operation, Pedro Cavadas, last year conducted the country's first double-arm transplant.Neither donors nor the patient were identified but the health authority promised to give further details later, depending on his condition. The doctor in charge of the operation, Pedro Cavadas, said he would need at least 48 hours before being able to provide more information.
