In Australia, a 20-year-old farm worker, Zach Mitchell, suffered from a raging bull: the surgeons could not save the thumb on his right arm and used his analog on his leg as a substitute. Mitchell was injured in April, when the bull with force squeezed his hand into the enclosure enclosure.
As Mitchell himself observed, immediately after the incident of his farm colleague, they tried to save the finger. "They threw it into a cooler with ice," said the young Australian. He was transported by helicopter to the state capital - Perth.
Mitchell had to postpone two unsuccessful operations in three months, during which doctors vainly tried to return his torn limb to its place. However, then the surgeons found an unorthodox way out: they convinced the young man that a big toe transplant would return his palm to the lost functionality.
Mitchell initially refused, hesitated a long time, but then agreed, and two weeks ago at the Sydney Eye Hospital a rare operation took place, which lasted more than eight hours.
Now Mitchell is waiting for 12 months of rehabilitation, but he wants to return to work with livestock.
Earlier in Mexico, an operation was performed to shunt the stomach of the heaviest man in the world - Juan Pedro Franco weighs 595 kilograms.
