A Spanish  medical team made the same claim in April.                                                                                       AFP - French doctors are claiming to have  carried out the world's first successful full-face transplant, a news  report said Thursday. The operation was conducted at the end of June on a 35-year-old man  whose face had been deformed by a genetic disorder and constituted "a  world first", the Le Parisien/Aujourd'hui newspaper said. The patient "is doing well. He is walking, he is eating, he is  talking", Laurent Lantieri, head of reconstructive surgery at the  Creteil Henri-Mondor hospital in the Paris suburbs, who carried out the  operation, told the newspaper. A full-face transplant involves the removal of the entire face from a  corpse, including mouth and eyelids, and grafting it onto the patient. "We are the first to have done a full-face transplant including  eyelids and tear ducts. I am proud because this has been done in  France," Lantieri was quoted as saying. In April, a Spanish medical team announced that it had conducted a  full-face transplant in a Barcelona hospital on a young man whose face  was badly injured in an accident.<a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20100708-french-doctors-claim-world-first-face-transplant-grafting-laurent-lantieri-medecine" target="_blank">http://www.france24.com/en/20100708-french-doctors-claim-world-first-face-transplant-grafting-laurent-lantieri-medecine</a><a href="http://www.sundaytimes.lk/cms/articleXYZ100000010.php?id=6217" target="_blank">http://www.sundaytimes.lk/cms/articleXYZ100000010.php?id=6217</a></blockquote>
