==== Italy ==== In September 2018, a 49-year-old woman affected by Neurofibromatosis type I received a partial face transplant from a 21-year-old girl at Sant'Andrea Hospital of Sapienza University in Rome. The procedure took 27 hours and was carried out by two teams led by Fabio Santanelli di Pompeo and Benedetto Longo.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.archyworldys.com/|title=Home|website=Archyworldys}}</ref> The patient had a complication and after two days the surgeons had to replace the facial graft with autologous tissue. The patient is still alive and waiting for a second face transplantation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.adnkronos.com/salute/medicina/2018/11/26/trapianto-faccia-roma-pronti-nuovo-intervento_xoGcu0vOedPuUkzKo97zqO.html|title=TrapiantofacciaRome|date=15 December 2020}}</ref>
