The Cleveland Clinic announced Tuesday it has performed the nation’s first almost total face transplant.
A hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday that the operation was done a couple weeks ago. Reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow replaced 80 percent of a woman’s face with that of a dead female donor.
The patient’s name and age were not released.
