Dr. Martin Iglesias, head of surgery at the Mexican National Institute of Nutrition and Medical Sciences, said the patient named Gabriel Granados (52) received two victims' arms (34 years old) shot dead.

Granados spoke at the press conference that the surgery was "great" and he began to feel his arms feel.

Mr. Granados said: 'It's great that after a while without hands, suddenly there is a new hand'.

The surgery takes place in early May, but it is possible to return to Granados on 8/6. The doctors said the Granados had fully recovered.

Reportedly, Granados' arms were removed after the electric shock in January 2011, when Granados was guiding construction workers to make fences.

Dr. Fernando Gabilondo, director of Mexico's National Institute of Nutrition and Medical Sciences, said: 'This is a special day in Mexico from a scientific standpoint.'

Foxnews quoted Mexican doctors as saying 23 other patients were waiting for a hand transplant.
