Surgical operation A head transplant is an experimental Medical challenges [ ] There are three main technical challenges. As with any Of these challenges, dealing with blood supply and transplant rejection have been addressed in the field of transplant medicine generally, making transplantation of several types of organs fairly routine; History [ ] In 1954, In the 1950s and '60s, In 1965, In 2012, In 2013, In 2015, Ren published work in which he cut off the heads of mice but left the brain stem in place, and then connected the vasculature of the donor head to the recipient body; this work was an effort to address whether it was possible to keep the body of the recipient animal alive without life support. All prior experimental work that involved removing the recipient body's head had cut the head off lower down, just below In 2016, Ren and Canavero published a review of attempted as well as possible neuroprotection strategies that they said should be researched for potential use in a head transplantation procedure; they discussed various protocols for connecting the vasculature, the use of various levels of hypothermia, the use of Ethics and popular opinion [ ] Robert J. White became a target for protestors because of his head transplantation experiments. One interrupted a banquet in his honor by offering him a bloody replica of a human head. Others called his house asking for "Dr. Butcher". When White testified in a civil hearing about In general, the field of transplanta...

Would you still be you after a head transplant? A head transplant is a surgical operation involving two organisms one as the recipient and one as a donor. In the year 2015, Dr. Canavero announced that he would perform a head transplant on a living human. He performed a head transplant on a corpse before. “Head transplants are fake news. Those who promote such claims and who would subject any human being to unproven cruel surgery merit not headlines but only contempt and condemnation.” Arthur Caplan, abioethicist, Although it is never done practically, head transplant is theoretically, a person with organ failure could be given to functional body while keeping their own personality, memories, and consciousness. History of Head Transplants In 1954, Vladimir Demikhov a Soviet Surgeon transplanted a puppy’s head onto the other dog. The effort was focused on how to provide blood supply to the donor’s head and the underbody and not on grafting the nervous systems The dogs only survived a few days, another dog survived for 29 days, dogs died due to transplant rejection. Transplantation of a dog-head performed by Vladimir Demikhov (Wikipedia) In 1965, Robert J.White attempted to graft only the vascular system of an isolated dog onto existing dogs, but the animals died between 6 hours and 3 days. People started calling White’s house asking for Dr. Butcher and he became a target of protestors. Dr. White was also compared to Dr. Frankenstein when White testified on a civil hearing. I...

The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is the main stabilization component in the knee of a dog. To treat damage of this ligament, the dog may be required to lose weight and be given medication for pain and inflammation. In cases where the ligament rupture is severe enough, reconstructive surgery will likely be recommended. A fibular head transposition changes the positioning of the CCL by moving the fibular head. This can help decrease the amount of damaging movement that occurs when the ligament is torn. Usually, only one leg is affected, however, both legs can require repair at the same time. This procedure is used more commonly on large dog breeds. It should be performed by an ACVS board-certified veterinary surgeon. Before surgery can be booked, full blood work will need to be run to determine if the dog is healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia. X-rays can be used to visualize joint damage, however, an MRI or arthroscopy will reveal more diagnostic information if the cause of damage is not known. Before the operation commences, the dog will need to fast for several hours. To begin the procedure, a sedative will be given to the dog. The knee area will then be clipped and cleaned. An intravenous catheter will be administered and general anesthesia will be given. An incision will be made down the affected leg. Once the tissue is opened, all damaged and diseased ligament pieces will be excised. The joint will be washed out to remove all remaining fragments. The joint ...

On January 20th, 1968, neurosurgeon Dr Raymond Newcombe wrote a letter entitled Brain Transplantation? to the editor of the British Medical Journal. Noting that the ethics of brain transplantation had been raised in Any Questions on BBC Radio 1, Newcombe sneered that it was "ridiculous and rather irresponsible for anyone to promote discussion of the ethics of a brain transplant . . . " as the possibility was "an enduring The extent to which brain – and even head – transplantation is "an enduring figment of the imagination" may be inferred from the fact that technical procedures and associated ethics are now discussed in the pages of respected medical journals. For example, in 2016, the European Journal of Neurosurgery described, Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities in Medicine However, a human brain/head transplant to a live recipient has not occurred. Yet. An early advance was made by Dr Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), a Frenchman whose pioneering development of vascular anastomosis – reconnecting severed blood vessels – was recognised in 1912 when he shared a Nobel Prize with American physiologist Dr Charles Guthrie for their work on "Suture of Blood Vessels and Transplantation of Organs". Carrel's dedication to the acquisition of sewing skills included spells in Lyon's silk district, and it was claimed he could sew 500 tiny stitches in a single piece of cigarette paper. Dog head transplant In 1908, Carrel and Guthrie performed the first dog head transplant, grafting the head of...

Recognizing that surgery to remove the substantial mass would be risky, the vet referred the case to Texas A&M's School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, where doctors diagnosed the mass as adenocarcinoma, a tumor of the salivary gland. The cancerous tumor had spread from the gland up to Jake's ear. "Salivary gland disease is pretty common, but cancer of the salivary glands is not," Dr. Vanna Dickerson, a VMBS assistant professor, told Texas A&M Today. "In Jake's case, saliva built up because he had this big tumor obstructing his salivary ducts. And it's certainly quite uncommon to have it get as advanced as it was in him." The school's veterinary specialists decided surgery was the best option to address the tumor. For Jake's surgery — partially funded by generous donors who saw his story on social media — doctors removed as much of the tumor as possible. Because the tumor was large and sitting next to the canine's trachea and esophagus, vets could not remove it all, but they got enough of it to extend Jake's life and make him much more comfortable. "With any type of tumor, ideally, you would go in and remove it with a margin of normal tissue around it to make sure you're not leaving any cancer cells behind," Dickerson explained to Texas A&M Today. "But because Jake's tumor was so big and next to a lot of really important structures, like the trachea and esophagus, we knew going into it that the surgery was more of a palliative procedure." Jack also underwen...

In 1955, at a meeting of the Moscow Surgical Society, a sensational exhibit was presented to the assembled guests. On the platform close to the audience, a large white dog was brought in. The dog looked happy, cheerfully wagging its tail, and unintimated by the large crowd of eager guests in front of him. He seemed particularly unconcerned by the unnatural appendage protruding from the side of his neck. Just a few days before the meet, the dog had undergone a major surgery during which the Soviet scientist Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov had attached to the side of his neck a second head, acquired from a small brown-haired puppy. Both the hound and the decapitated head of the puppy were alive and reacting to stimuli. And even as the surgeons watched, the puppy's head gave the ear of its host a nasty bite. The white head snarled. Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov’s demonstration sent shockwaves through Russia’s medical community, but this was not the first time our Soviet Dr. Frankenstein had ruffled feathers in his quest for medical breakthroughs. In 1937, at the age of only 21 and still a student, the young Vladimir had shocked his professors by creating the first artificial heart, which he successfully implanted into a dog. The dog survived for five hours. After graduation, Demikhov continued his experimental research, eventually performing successful heart and lung transplants, and later, liver and kidney transplantation on dogs and cats. Some of his patients survived for a month...
