Viewers of a BBC show were left amazed tonight after groundbreaking surgery was given to a man who lost half of his skull.
The BBC Two show, Saving Lives in Leeds follows doctors at Leeds General Infirmary, documenting the stories of patients amid the rising pressures on the NHS. In episode three of the emotional show, several stories were shown, including one about a man who had to have part of his skull rebuilt after a traumatic injury.
Neurosurgeon Ryan and his team had two patients on the surgery list, one needing an operation on their spine and the other on their skull. Karl, 49, needed part of his skull rebuilt, after a fall at home caused a severe brain injury.
