Surgeons in Israel performed a miracle surgery and reattached a boy’s head after he was hit by a car while riding his bike.
In an extremely rare and complex operation, Hadassah Medical Center surgeons have reattached a teen boy’s head to his neck.
A car hit Suleiman Hassan, a 12-year-old Arab from the Judea and Samaria region, as he rode his bike.
After he was airlifted to Hadassah’s trauma unit, doctors discovered the ligaments holding the rear base of his skull were seriously damaged, leaving it disconnected from the top vertebrae of his spine.
Internal decapitation occurs when sudden impact to the head causes the ligaments and muscles holding the skull in position on the top vertebrae of the spine to tear.
The injury is very rare, accounting for less than 1 percent of spinal injuries.
“While in the operating room, we used new plates and fixations in the damaged area. … Our ability to save the child was thanks to our knowledge and the most innovative technology in the operating room.”
“I will thank you all my life for saving my dear only son,” the father told medical staff.
