A Dallas surgeon is working in Ukraine to perform reconstructive surgeries on soldiers who were disfigured in the war with Russia with the aid of a medical 3D printing company in Plano.
As the war in Ukraine stretches on, inside a Kyiv hospital Dallas-based surgeon Dr. Jorge Corona is operating on a Ukrainian soldier injured by Russian troops.He lost both his eyes in battle.Corona used custom-designed, 3D printed facial surgical implants created and donated by Dallas-based Medcad to recreate the soldier's face."We're giving them back a little bit of their humanity that they lost," Corona said.
"Here is the bed and the titanium is brushed across, and the laser beam hardens each layer," Hairston said.While in Kyiv, Corona met a U.S. citizen nicknamed, "Gandalf." Gandalf came to Ukraine to join the army and fight against Russian forces. He, too, was injured on the front lines.Corona did not operate on Gandalf, but he did follow up with the surgeon who reconstructed his mandibles using Medcad implants."He has a jaw injury," Corona said.
