The first man implanted both hands in England

Two-handed metal presses cut off hands three years ago, and Chris King first successfully implanted both hands in the UK.

According to the Telegraph, Chris King (57) is now recovering well after surgery at Leeds General Hospital. Two hands were received from an unidentified donor.

This is the second case of a hand transplant in the UK but is the first case of both hands. The first transplant was performed in 2012, also by Professor Simon Kay as the surgical leader.

"It is true that there is no more desire. The feeling of happiness is more than winning the lottery. They are really my hands. My blood has flowed through it," said King.

For the past three years, he had to learn to adapt to life without hands. With a passion for bicycles, after the accident, he improved a fit-and-fit car to continue his enjoyment. Since pairing his hands, he is eager to return to everyday tasks like cutting hedges, wearing shirts or holding a beer bottle properly.

"The implementation of hand transplants requires more research than organ transplants , " said Professor Simon Kay. Patients will be affected psychologically and must have time to get used to the hands of others attached to their bodies. This is a long and complicated operation.

Kay's surgical team hopes to have enough donations to make about 2-4 hand transplants each year. There are 4 people on the waiting list. Donor hands and recipients require certain compatibility, especially blood type, skin color and hand size.
