12/16/2008 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Surgeons
have replaced 80 percent of a woman's face, transplanting bone, teeth,
muscle and nerve in the first such operation in the United States.
They said the woman suffered severe trauma that cost her an eye, much of her nose and her upper jaw and left her unable to breathe, smell, taste or smile properly.
