Baltimore boy Zion Harvey gets world's first pediatric double hand transplant

The video tutorial explains the process of a successful hand transplant. It begins with the connection of forearm bones to donated hands using steel plates and screws. Surgeons then employ microvascular techniques to connect arteries and veins, ensuring blood circulation. Following this, muscles and tendons are repaired and rejoined one by one. The procedure concludes with the reattachment of nerves, completing the surgery.
