Editing Face transplant (section)

====Turkey====
[[Selahattin Özmen]] performed a partial face transplant on 17 March 2012 on Hatice Nergis, a twenty-year-old woman at [[Gazi University]]'s hospital in [[Ankara]]. It was Turkey's third, the first woman-to-woman and the first three-dimensional with bone tissue. The patient from [[Kahramanmaraş]] had lost her upper jaw six years prior in a firearm accident, including her mouth, lips, palate, teeth and nasal cavity, and was since then unable to eat. She had undergone around 35 reconstructive plastic surgery operations. The donor was a 28-year-old Turkish woman of Moldavian origin in [[Istanbul]], who had died by suicide.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sabah.com.tr/Yasam/2012/03/23/gazi-yuz-naklini-damardan-bagladi|title=Gazi, yüz naklini 'damardan' bağladı|author=Cantürk, Safure|date=23 March 2012|newspaper=[[Sabah (newspaper)|Sabah]]|access-date=26 March 2012|language=tr}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=1260147&title=ucuncu-yuz-nakli-gazi-universitesi-tip-fakultesi-hastanesinde-basladi|title=Üçüncü yüz nakli Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi'nde başladı|date=17 March 2012|newspaper=[[Zaman (newspaper)|Zaman]]|access-date=26 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319141259/http://zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=1260147&title=ucuncu-yuz-nakli-gazi-universitesi-tip-fakultesi-hastanesinde-basladi|archive-date=19 March 2012|url-status=dead|language=tr}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/id/25331432/|title=Üçüncü yüz nakli bir kadına|date=17 March 2012|newspaper=NTV MSNBC|access-date=26 March 2012|language=tr}}</ref> Nergis died in [[Ankara]] on 15 November 2016 after she was hospitalized two days prior complaining about acute pain.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/turkiyenin-yuz-nakli-yapilan-ilk-kadini-hatice-nergis-oldu-40278523|title=Türkiye'nin yüz nakli yapılan ilk kadını Hatice Nergis öldü|date=2016-11-15|newspaper=[[Hürriyet]]|access-date=2016-11-15|language=tr}}</ref>
