Chinese surgeons at Shandong Provincial Hospital performed the world’s first ear grafting operation, attaching a woman’s severed ear to her foot to keep it alive until it could be reattached. The patient, Sun, suffered severe injuries from a workplace accident in April, which also damaged her scalp. After a successful ten-hour grafting procedure and a five-month recovery, her ear was reattached, and she has largely recovered, though further surgeries are planned to restore her eyebrows and reduce foot scarring. This innovative approach showcased significant advancements in medical techniques.
