A Polish man who was seriously injured by a machine in a work place accident was the beneficiary of the world's first life-saving face transplant surgery on Wednesday in a 27 hour operation.
The 33 year old, identified as Grzegorz got a new face 3 weeks after a stone-cutting machine damaged his face so severely that it couldn't be reattached.
The ground breaking operation was carried out by a team of surgeons led by Dr. Adam Maciejewski of the Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology in Gliwice, Poland.
