<p><b> by Jeff Donlan</b></p><p>In China, surgeons replaced a man’s ear with one they had grown…on his arm. The patient lost his ear in a traffic accident. Cartilage was taken from the patient’s ribs and cut into the shape of an ear. It was then placed under a flap of skin on his forearm and left to grow. After four months, the ear was fully grown, and ready to be transplanted.The seven hour surgery was a success, and the patient is said to once again have a functioning ear.<p> </p></p><br /> <p>The post Ear Transplanted From Man’s Arm To Head</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
