A 22-year-old Dutch woman with a life-threatening brain disorder was recently given a whole new cranium (the part of the skull that encloses the brain), thanks to the help of innovative technology.
Doctors at Utrecht Medical Centre in the Netherlands used a 3D printer to build a plastic prosthetic bone for what they said was the first full-skull transplant. The surgery was performed in December last year, and lasted 23 hours.
The news program of the French second public TV channel broadcasts a reportage and needs some reactions from the Dutch and some general views.
For this news reportage Featurez gave advice, did research, filming and audio, interviews and transferred the video material via FTP.
