Nation's first face transplant done in Cleveland
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman so horribly disfigured she was willing to risk her life to do something about it has undergone the nation's first near-total face transplant, the Cleveland Clinic announced Tuesday. Reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow and a team of other specialists replaced 80 percent of the woman's face with that of a female cadaver a couple of weeks ago in a bold and controversial operation certain to stoke the debate over the ethics of such surgery.
The patient's name and age were not released, and the hospital said her family wanted the reason for her transplant to remain confidential. The hospital plans a news conference Wednesday and would not give details until then.
The transplant was the fourth worldwide; two have been done in France, and one was performed in China.

全球首例！臉部移植手術在克里夫蘭完成了！
瑪莉蓮˙馬契尼報導
克里夫蘭(美聯社)─克里夫蘭診所星期二時宣布，一位面部毀容的女士，願意冒著生命危險去做一件事，就是接受全球第一起幾乎全臉移植手術的治療。重建外科醫師瑪麗亞˙西美諾和專科醫師團隊在這大膽並受爭議的手術中，將一名幾週前去世的女性死者的臉部，移植至女士臉上，佔了其面積的80%，這種手術確實引起了道德倫理的爭議。
這名病患的名字和年齡沒有公佈，醫院說道：他的家人想要知道移植的原因並保持秘密。醫院安排了一個在星期三的會議，到時細節才會揭曉。
這是全球第四起臉部移植的手術。兩起在法國完成，一起在中國。
