In the statement made by NYU Langone Health, an academic medical center in New York, USA, it was announced that the first full eye transplant was performed on a human after a 21-hour surgery.
A first in history, complete eye transplantation took 21 hours in the USA
An important step was taken for medical science in New York, USA. After a 21-hour surgery, the first full eye transplant was performed on 46-year-old Aaron James, who suffered major damage to the left side of his face, including his left eye, after being electrocuted by a high-voltage electric current. After the surgery performed at NYU Langone Health, an academic medical center in New York, USA, Dr. Eduardo Rodríguez said, “Eye transplantation was something that had been considered for centuries but was never realized. "The fact that we have performed the eye transplant is a big step forward," he said.
While it is stated that the transplanted eye is currently unable to communicate with the brain, according to the surgical team that performed the surgery, the transplanted eye showed well-functioning blood vessels and a promising-looking retina.'I HOPE IT WILL OPEN A NEW PATH'
James, who preserved the sight in his right eye, said that he knew the possibility of the transplanted eye not being able to see again, and said, "Doctors never expected it to work for sure, and they told me this from the very beginning." “I told them: Even if I can't see it, maybe you can all at least learn something that will help the next person,” James said. "I hope this opens a new path," he said.While doctors today can only transplant the cornea, which is located at the front of the eye and is the first area where light from outside enters the eye, the first full eye transplant was a promising development for humanity.
