There are plenty of accounts of very remarkable transplants. Sometimes there were great risks; sometimes they paid off, and sometimes they didn’t. It can be somewhat difficult to define a successful transplant. Despite the obstacles, there have still been monumental achievements in transplant procedures that are worth noting and still plenty more anticipated triumphs in the future.

This video is very graphic so if you are squeamish don't press play.
It is showing two hearts pumping in one body at the same time. It is quite extraordinary as without that extra heart, the man wouldn't be alive.
Tyson Smith went through a rare surgery that's called a heterotopic heart transplant. In the surgery, doctors add another heart to the right side of his chest to share the work and get the job done.
In Smith's case, he couldn't replace his own heart with the new one, he needed both:
"Even though Mr. Smith was facing death, he could not have a standard heart transplant," explained Dr. Michael Madani, associate professor of surgery and co-director of the UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center.
"Removing the old heart and replacing it with a new heart would have caused the new heart to fail because resistance to flow in his lungs-called pulmonary hypertension-was so high. But together, the two hearts share the work and get the job done."
It's an incredibly rare procedure but one the doctors said is "worth having in the tool kit".
Amazing.This video is very graphic so if you are squeamish don't press play.

TOKYO - While on the lam for 2 ½ years, a Japanese man wanted for the murder of a British woman scissored off his lower lip, dug two moles out of his cheek with a box cutter and gave himself a nose job in an attempt to obscure his identity.
The disclosures come in a book released Wednesday and written from jail by Tatsuya Ichihashi, who will stand trial later this year in the murder and rape of his English teacher, Lindsay Ann Hawker.
Hawker, 22, was found dead in a sand-filled bathtub on the balcony of Ichihashi's apartment in Chiba, east of Tokyo, in March 2007.
Ichihashi, arrested in 2009 after a lengthy nationwide manhunt, admits to taking Hawker's life in the book, "Until the Arrest." But he doesn't describe the crime or his motives, instead detailing his life at large, during which he traveled up and down the country, in constant fear of arrest and obsessed with cosmetic surgery.
While police say Ichihashi has confessed to assaulting Hawker and that she died from her injuries, he won't enter a plea until the trial begins. The details in the book do not take responsibility for anything beyond what Ichihashi has already told investigators. If convicted of murder, he could face the death penalty.
After escaping the police who came to his apartment to question him, he bound up his nose with a thread and needle - like a cook trussing a piece of meat - to make it narrower.
At first, Ichihashi, 32, wandered around Tokyo and then drifted north to Aomori prefecture (state), where he twice tried to cut off part of his lower lip to make it thinner. The first time, he couldn't follow through because of the excruciating pain, he wrote. He finished it up a few days later in a public bathroom.
He wore several layers of surgical masks to hide the scars, but apparently didn't stand out in the spring when many Japanese do the same to escape pollen.
Moving by train and bus, Ichihashi headed south and embarked on a pilgrimage of temples in the southwestern island of Shikoku, wishing Hawker could "come back to life" - an idea he got from a novel, in which the dead are resurrected after someone who is thinking of them tours the same temples.
"I took Lindsay's life, that fact does not change," he wrote in the 238-page book released by publishing house Gentosha, its cover depicting Ichihashi's drawing of himself: a man wearing a baseball cap and a surgical mask.
While at large, Ichihashi carefully avoided monitoring cameras at shops and eye contact with anyone. He changed his location quickly and often when he thought he might have been spotted. He never contacted his family or friends.
Police offered a reward of 10 million yen ($121,000) for tips leading to his arrest.
Once he walked past a police station and saw a wanted poster with his face on it. It was then that he sliced off the moles on his left cheek - prominent in the wanted picture.
Having saved nearly 1 million yen ($12,100) from a string of construction jobs, he spent most of it on two plastic surgery operations, once to acquire a longer and narrower nose, and the second to raise the bridge of his nose.
In the end, his attempts to obscure his identity led to his arrest.
Staff at the second clinic took many photos of his left cheek with traces of moles he had removed, which seemed "strange."
The clinic reported his visit and sent the photos to police - news that was splashed in Japanese newspapers.
Ichihashi said he froze when he saw the news on TV about his cosmetic surgery.
"My heart raced," he wrote. "I gazed at it trembling."
He immediately checked out of his hotel, got a haircut and even bought a party disguise set containing a beard, sideburns and a mustache.
He was eventually stopped on Nov. 10, 2009, by police at the ferry terminal in Osaka as he tried to flee again. One of the officers asked his name.
Ichihashi gave his real name for the first time in 2 1/2 years and was arrested.
In his book, Ichihashi apologizes to Hawker and her family, saying the book was intended as "a gesture of contrition for the crime I committed."

According to WHAS11.com in Louisville, a doctor faces a lawsuit and he is accused of wrongfully amputating a man's penis during what was supposed to be a routine circumcision at Jewish Hospital in Oct. 2007.
Phillip Seaton says when he awoke from the surgery, he discovered that the doctor had removed his entire penis.
The doctor who performed the surgery, Frankfort Urologist Dr. John Patterson says he removed Seaton’s penis because he discovered a cancerous growth on it. He says he performed the procedure to keep it from spreading.
But the lawsuit alleges that the doctor was not given authorization to remove his penis. It indicates that performing the procedure deprived Seaton the opportunity to get a second opinion.
The cancer turned out to be a stage one cancer, considered by many medical experts to be treatable.

From NBC's reality television show "The Biggest Loser" to the first lady's campaign against childhood obesity, the battle of the bulge is being waged on all fronts, including the operating table.
The Lap-Band, a surgically-implanted device that cinches the stomach and drastically restricts food intake, has been touted as a vital weapon in the "war on obesity" by some health researchers and bariatric surgeons. Approximately 80 percent of those who elect for the Lap-Band are women.
Last month, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recommended lowering the eligibility threshold for this elective weight loss surgery, from a body mass index (or BMI) of 35 to a BMI of 30 if an existing health issue such as diabetes is present. (BMI is calculated using a National Institute of Health formula, based on weight and height. Someone who is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, for instance, has a BMI of 25.8.)
The recommendation comes at a time when many are growing deeply concerned about the negative affects of weight loss surgery, including possibly high suicide rates after the procedure.
For Eric Oliver, the FDA panel's nod to the procedure is troubling.
"What I worry about is, to what extent is bariatric surgery becoming a form of cosmetic surgery?" said Oliver, a political science professor at the University of Chicago and author of the 2005 book "Fat Politics: The Real Story behind America's Obesity Epidemic."
Oliver challenges conventional wisdom about the correlation between weight and health with a simple yet provocative idea: Being thin doesn't necessarily make you healthier.
While Americans have undeniably been getting heavier over the past 20 years, Oliver suggests that our nation's weight gain isn't due to an underlying obesity "disease," but because of fundamental changes in lifestyle and eating habits.
Lap-Band is the only general surgery that is currently advertised, making it more widespread--and lucrative--than other non-elective surgical procedures that offer no cosmetic benefits. (You'd never get your gallbladder or appendix removed unless you absolutely had to, right?)

Doctors have to take decisions under stress, though not apparent.
A doctor when performing his first surgery /first case will tell you that.
Over a period of time and practice, the stress is not visible;but it remains underneath.
A doctor is also a human being with his share of problems professionally and personally.
Fair percentage of Doctors work longer hours either because of their commitment or for financial reasons.
