Dog Attack Victim Undergoes 15-hour-surgery Using 358 Leeches to Reconstruct Face

A woman was attacked by her own dog which bit off her face leaving a hole right from the upper lip till the right eye.
Her face was reconstructed using hundreds of leeches. Thankfully, after the attack, the missing skin was carefully preserved by her relatives who kept it chilled till she made it to the hospital.
A 15-hour-surgery followed and surgeons worked to reattach the flap using 358 leeches to revive the skin by sucking blood back into it.
She is said to be recovering well.
