In what year was the first full face transplant conducted?

The first full face transplant was conducted in 2005, specifically on November 27, 2005, in France. This landmark procedure involved a surgical team led by Dr. Bernard Devauchelle and was performed on a woman who had sustained severe facial injuries. This operation marked a significant milestone in the field of reconstructive surgery and transplantation, showcasing advancements in surgical techniques, patient care, and immunosuppression protocols.

While 2006, 2008, and 2010 are years during which advancements in surgical procedures continued, they do not correspond to the date of the first full face transplant. Instead, these years saw further developments and refinements in the techniques and outcomes of facial transplants, but the original procedure itself took place in 2005, making it an important part of medical history in transplant surgery.
