Surgeons at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem successfully reattached the head of a 12-year-old boy from the West Bank who suffered an internal decapitation after being hit by a car while riding his bike. The surgery, led by Dr. Ohad Einav, took several hours and utilized innovative technology and new plates and fixations. Despite a projected survival rate of only 50%, the boy's recovery is being hailed as a miracle, with no neurological deficits or motor dysfunction. The surgery is extremely rare, especially on children, and preserving blood flow to the brain was crucial for success.
