Fifth U.S. Hand Transplant Patient Heads Home to NY
Date:2/17/2009

een a total of 40 hands transplanted on 32 patients around the world.

Kentuckiana Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA) worked very closely with the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization to coordinate the hand donation with the family and hospital. Without the help of these organ procurement agencies and the family, this procedure could not have taken place.

The fifth U.S. hand transplant is sponsored by the Department of Defense, Office of Naval Research and Office of Army Research to further research in the composite tissue allotransplantation program.
