Surgeons in Israel performed a miracle surgery and managed to reattach a boy’s head after he was hit by a car while riding his bike, a Jerusalem hospital announced this week.
The boy was rushed to Hadassah Medical Center and immediately put into surgery in the trauma unit.
The doctors said his head was "almost completely detached from the base of his neck.".
Dr. Ohad Einav, the orthopedic specialist who led the operation, said the procedure took several hours and required the doctors to use "new plates and fixations in the damaged area.".
"Thanks to you, he regained his life even when the odds were low and the danger was obvious.".

Einav stressed that the surgery is "extremely rare," but the large size of a child’s head relative to an adult means they are "more susceptible.". »
