Indian doctors have registered a rare feat by conducting India's first successful double hand transplant in a 16-hour-long surgery.
It was conducted at Amrita Institute of Medical Science in Kochi on a 30-year-old train accident victim, who received both hands of a 24-year-old road accident victim.

This transplant has put the Indian scientific community among the league of a few developed nations in the field of composite tissue allotransplant.
