女子腰斬手術奇跡存活 |
| A 31-year-old Canadian woman, Janis Ollson, was diagnosed with sarcoma-a form of bone cancer, when she was pregnant three years ago, the Daily Mail reported. In order to remove the tumor, she agreed to undergo ground-breaking drastic surgeries that entailed being cut in half and then using more than 240 staples to put her back together. She survived and was reassembled with a prosthetic left leg and an artificial pelvis. She has become the first person to survive being cut in half. Since her groundbreaking surgery, three other patients have had the operation but only one has survived. |
