Post Description

In December last year, a team of surgeons at Leeds General Infirmary led by Professor Simon Kay carried out Britain's first hand transplant, on 51 year old Mark Cahill from West Yorkshire. 

This documentary, filmed over two years, follows the story of the operation, as potential patients from across the nation and beyond are assessed, both physically and psychologically, to ensure they are suitable. Some of them are then dissuaded by the drawbacks, which would include a lifetime of drugs to stop their bodies rejecting the donor hand, while others decide the potential benefits outweigh the risks involved.
