Hand Transplant Doctor Going To Arizona
KENTUCKY...
The doctor who led the Louisville surgical team that performed the country's first hand transplant is leaving to become chief of reconstructive and plastic surgery at the University of Arizona.
Dr. Warren C. Breidenbach has been leader of the transplant team starting with Matthew Scott in 1999. Six patients have received transplants in the program that involves a partnership of Jewish Hospital, Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center and the University of Louisville.
Kleinert Kutz and Associates says the team of surgeons, including Breidenbach, would continue collaborating in the field of hand transplantation.
