BALTIMORE, March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Die Universität Maryland veröffentlichte heute Informationen über die bislang umfassendste Gesichtstransplantation, bei welcher auch beide Kiefer, die Zähne und Zunge transplantiert wurden. Die 36-stündige Operation fand vom 19.-20. März 2012 im R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center des University of Maryland Medical Center statt und wurde durch ein multidisziplinäres Team aus Lehrärzten der University of Maryland School of Medicine und einem Team aus über 150 Krankenschwestern und Fachpersonal durchgeführt.  

Die Gesichtstransplantation (fachspr. "vascularized composite allograft"  oder "VCA") fand im Rahmen eines 72-stündigen Transplantationsmarathons in einem der ausgelastetsten Transplantationszentren der Welt statt.  Die Familie eines anonymen Spenders spendete großzügigerweise das Gesicht des Familienangehörigen und rettete fünf weitere Leben durch dieses heldenhafte Geschenk, das die Organspende darstellt.  Vier dieser Transplantationen fanden in den letzten zwei Tagen im University of Maryland Medical Center statt.

Leiter des Gesichtstransplantationsteams war Eduardo D. Rodriguez, M.D., D.D.S., Lehrbeauftragter der Chirurgie der University of Maryland School of Medicine und Leiter der plastischen, rekonstruktiven und maxillofazialen Chirurgie am R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center des University of Maryland Medical Center. Damit wurde weltweit zum ersten Mal ein vollständiges Gesicht transplantiert. Bewerkstelligt wurde dieser komplexe Eingriff durch ein Team aus plastischen und rekonstruktiven Chirurgen mit spezieller Ausbildung und Fachkenntnis in den Bereichen kraniofaziale Chirurgie und rekonstruktive Mikrochirurgie. 

Der Empfänger des Gesichtstransplantats, der 37-jährige Richard Lee Norris aus Hillsville (Virginia), wurde 1997 bei einem Schießunfall verletzt.  Seitdem unterzog er sich zahlreichen lebensrettenden und rekonstruktiven Operationen. Durch den Unfall verlor Norris seine Lippen und Nase und litt unter einer eingeschränkten Bewegungsfähigkeit des Mundes.  Norris kam 2005 zum ersten Mal ins University of Maryland Medical Center, um die rekonstruktiven Optionen mit Dr. Rodriguez zu besprechen.

Die Partnerschaft zwischen dem University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) und der University of Maryland School of Medicine ermöglicht wegbereitende medizinische Forschung und Ergebnisse für die rasche Innovation und Verbesserung der Gesundheitsversorgung und der Vorbereitung der nächsten Fachkräftegeneration des Gesundheitswesens durch ein exzellentes Ausbildungs- und Lehrangebot.

Das R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center des University of Maryland Medical Center stellt das erste koordinierte Unfallbehandlungssystem der USA dar und widmet sich der multidisziplinären Forschung und Behandlung lebensgefährlicher Verletzungen und Erkrankungen.  Im Shock Trauma Center wurde das Konzept der so genannten "golden hour" der Notfallmedizin geboren.  Unter der Anleitung von Thomas M. Scalea, M.D, werden im Shock Trauma Centre mehr als 8.000 Unfall- und Notfallpatienten pro Jahr behandelt und Traumaversorger aus der ganzen Welt, einschließlich der medizinischen Fachkräfte des US-Militärs, ausgebildet.
