Voicebox transplant trials in UK get go-ahead

20 June 2011

The UK's first voicebox transplant may be less than a year away, after the Royal College of Surgeons gave its seal of approval for trials to take place.  The decision gives support to Martin Birchall, UCL Professor of Laryngology, who was the lead scientist involved in the ground-breaking 18-hour operation on a woman in the US last October.
