Medical history was made 10 years ago, greatly impacting the future of transplantation and reconstructive surgery around the world when a team of surgeons performed the first hand transplant in the U.S on January 25, 1999. The procedure, also called composite tissue allotransplantation, has continued to lead to other innovative surgeries, such as face transplant.

A press conference was held marking the 10-year anniversary January 26, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. at the Jewish Hospital Heart and Lung Center,in Louisville, Kentucky.

Matt Scott, World's First Successful Hand Transplant Recipient makes comments during the press conference.
