It is difficult to say whether this is real. The article does provide a story of the surgery succeeding, it doesn't have any actual records of it's trials and results. In addition, the only other article I could find online about this story was a direct copy paste of this article, and the credibility of this website is doubtful given the copious amount of ads plastered all over the article.

How do you rate the claim? True? False? Misleading? Always mention your rating in-text and select a rating. Also, include sources. Review academic or media articles or research online and see if you can find more information than what was provided by the poster. Thanks!
