A south African doctor and his team successfully pioneered a transplant of a patient's middle ear using 3D technology to cure his deafness, making it the first in the world. This groundbreaking procedure which first recorded in 2019 offers hope to many of those who suffer from loss of hearing.

The first patient to receive thee transplant was a 35 year old man who suffered hearing loss as a result of a car accident that damaged his inner ear, according to a press release by the South African Government. The operation was performed by Professor Mashudu Tshifilaro and his team from the University of Pretoria (UP) Faculty of Health at the Steve Biko Academic hospital in Pretoria on March 13.

Using 3D technology, he was able to recreate the bones- the hammmer, anvil, stirrup and the ossicles that make up the inner ear �, thus replacing the damages ones. The surgery was successfully completed in one and a half hours, owing to the severity of the injury.

Alluding to when the patient will be able to get hearing back, Tshifularo said: "The patients will get their hearing back immediately but since they will be wrapped in bandages, only after two weeks , when they are removed will they be able to tell a difference."

"By replacing only the ossicles that aren't functioning properly, the procedure carries significantly less risk that known protheses and their associated surgical procedures, which is biocompatible. We use an endoscope to do the replacement, so the transplant is ecpected to be quick, with minimal scarring."explained Tshifularo.

The best part baout the surgery is that it will be available to patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly.

Seen

Because it's so much padded. Remove the pads and see it's very realistic.

Dividends of Protest

This is worthy of emulation.

This protest will tell you so much about unemployment in Nigeria.

Ok

Every protester can't be sane. We are human and humans are animals, though higher animals.

So, this Update has come to stay.
Issweh.

Hmmmm. This turssle of power.
