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.
