詹姆斯(吉姆)百胜第一次见面杰西C. Selber,医学博士, 四年前。在奥斯汀的软件开发商已经到了MD安德森成功治疗平滑肌肉瘤后重建手术,平滑肌的一种罕见的癌症,在他的头皮离开了他在他的头上一个大而深的伤口。
但吉姆,现在55岁,不只是需要他的头皮和颅骨重建手术。他还需要另一个肾脏和胰腺移植。他会先前接收肾脏和胰腺移植于1992年,由于从少年糖尿病并发症。
这对于selb提出“第22条军规”。头皮一d skull wound kept doctors from performing the second solid-organ transplant. Likewise, Jim's kidney and pancreas functions, along with his immunosuppression medications for his pancreas and kidney, complicated scalp reconstruction.
But Jim's wound, medication and organ failure ultimately became part of the solution. On May 22, he became the first person ever to receive a scalp and skull transplant simultaneously with solid organ transplants.
A transplant four years in the making
“当我第一次见到吉姆,我提出需要一个新的肾脏和胰腺持续的抗排斥药物,以支持他们,并在将这些相同的药物进行保护的同时接收一个完整的头皮和颅骨移植他之间的连接” Selber,谁在同一时间,肾和胰腺移植进行头皮和颅骨移植的想法来到了说。“这是创建执行此复杂的移植机会一个独特的情况。”
But it took nearly four years before Selber could do the scalp and skull transplant, along with four MD Anderson plastic surgeons --马克克莱门斯,医学博士;马修Hanasono,医学博士;Edward Chang, M.D.;andPeirong宇,医学博士- 和移植,距离休斯顿卫理公会医院整形美容团队。他们需要弄清楚到底如何协调这种移植。他们还需要合适的器官捐赠者,有人谁可以提供头骨和头皮,以及吉姆的新的肾脏和胰腺。
5月21日,Selber了解到,LifeGift有一个潜在的器官捐献者。约20小时后,球队开始了15个小时的手术。50名多名医护人员进行,以协助或支持的手术。LifeGift,它没有以往任何时候都促进头皮和颅骨移植的采购之前,也起到了关键的作用。
A new beginning
如今,不到两个星期后,吉姆是由于可以出院。他会继续留在休斯顿了三个星期的后续护理。他还在震惊,他已经起来,走路一点。
"This has been a long journey, and I am so grateful to all the doctors who performed my transplants," Jim says. "I'm amazed at how great I feel and am forever grateful that I have another chance to get back to doing the things I love and be with the people I love."
I am forever grateful that I have another chance to get back to doing the things I love and be with the people I love.
