Woman who received the world's first partial face transplant dies

A French woman who underwent the world's first partial face transplant has died in hospital aged 49 after a long illness, doctors have confirmed. Isabelle Dinoire, who lost her mouth and nose after a dog bite, made medical history in 2005 when she was given a partial face transplant using tissue from a brain-dead woman in a 15-hour operation at Amiens hospital.
