Pedro Cavadas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Pedro Cavadas is a Spanish surgeon known for directing world-pioneering interventions, such as one in which he kept alive a patient's arm by temporarily implanting it on the patient's leg, or another in which he converted a one-handed patient's right hand into a left hand in order to move it from his right arm to his left one, after the patient had suffered a paralysis of the right half of his body.
