Doctor reattaches head of boy in traffic accident

Twelve-year-old Suleiman Hassan, a Palestinian boy, suffered from a condition called "internal decapitation," in which his skull was separated from his cervical vertebrae, according to The Times of Israel .

Hassan was riding his bicycle when he was hit by a car. He was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and immediately underwent surgery.

Doctors performed a miraculous surgery and successfully reattached the head of a boy that was "almost completely severed from his neck."

Doctors said Hassan's head was almost completely severed from his neck, according to the New York Post .

Dr. Ohad Einav, an orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation, said the doctors had to use "support plates to stabilize the injured area."

"The victim was saved thanks to the entire medical team and the most advanced surgical technology," said Dr. Einav.

According to i24 News , Dr. Einav and his surgical team said Hassan had only a 50% chance of survival and that his recovery was truly a miracle.

The surgery took place in June, but the doctors waited a month before announcing the results.

Hassan has now been discharged from the hospital with a neck brace, and doctors will continue to monitor his recovery.

The boy was riding his bike when he was hit by a car.

According to Israel's TPS news agency, Hassan's father did not leave his son's bedside throughout his recovery. He constantly expressed his gratitude to the medical staff.

Professor Marc Siegel, a doctor at NYU Langone Medical Center (USA), said the surgery was "amazing," only possible if the major blood vessels remained intact.

Marc Siegel said: "The important thing is to maintain blood flow to the brain, even if the main blood vessels haven't been severed."
