Guizhou Province, was attacked by a wolf when
he was 11.Now he is to receive corrective
surgery
Due to his appearance he never went to school,
never got married, never got a job and lives by
himself.
Surgeon Doctor Chen Fei, who will carry out the
corrective procedure, said: 'The patient's mouth
is all missing, the jaws are distorted
The surgery will involve around 20 doctors from
10 different departments.
Dr Chen added: ' The surgery will reconstruct
his upper and lower lips and his missing face
muscles.
' We'll take two musculocutaneous flaps from
his legs, and transplant them onto his face
after tailoring them. It involves a lot of nerve
and vessel sutures.'
Following the initial surgery, Mr Wu's teeth will
be reconstructed in a second operation in six
months.
*Life just passed him by,poor man.I pray he
finds closure from that dreadful attack after the
corrective surgery.
