“This is an extremely difficult surgery,” Giang shared, saying that he and his colleagues made every effort in reattaching the nose without any mistake that may do harm to the patient.
Doctor Do Ngoc Linh, Deputy Head of the Maxilo-Facial Department, said more than ten of such surgeries have so far been successfully conducted in the world, and this is the first case in Vietnam.
