In this June 10, 2016 photo provided by the Mayo Clinic, a medical team of about 60 doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and others at Mayo Clinic gather before performing the first face transplant surgery at their hospital in Rochester, Minn. Mardini and his team devoted more than 50 Saturdays over 3 1/2 years to rehearsing the procedure, using sets of cadaver heads to transplant the face of one to another. They used 3D imaging and virtual surgery to plot out the bony cuts so the donor's face would fit perfectly on Andy Sandness. (Michael Cleary/Mayo Clinic via AP) (AP)
