Transplant doctor denies woman tried suicide

The French doctor behind the world's first partial face transplant insisted Monday that his patient did not try to kill herself before being mauled by her dog 錕斤拷 even as a British newspaper quoted her as saying she had.

The apparent contradiction was just one of the mysteries surrounding last week's groundbreaking operation that grafted a nose, chin and lips onto a 38-year-old woman whose face had been severely disfigured by her pet Labrador.

In her hometown, neighbors said the mother of two teenage daughters generally kept to herself before the surgery and wore a surgical mask to hide her face when she walked her new dog.

The case has raised questions about the ethics of performing such surgery on someone who may have suffered psychological troubles in the past.

London's Sunday Times reported the woman acknowledged in a cell phone interview that she took an overdose of sleeping pills during a fit of depression this spring. That night, she was mauled by her own Labrador, in circumstances still unclear.

The woman said the reason for her suicide attempt was "secret," according to the newspaper, whose account was sharply contested by transplant surgeon Jean-Michel Dubernard, who was in charge of one of the two teams that carried out the procedure Nov. 27.

"She did not try to commit suicide, I have had to say this 10 times," Dubernard told The Associated Press by telephone. He declined to let AP speak to the woman.

"She is fine 錕斤拷 perfect," he said. "Good general condition, graft looking perfect, psychology 錕斤拷 OK."

Dubernard said the woman has not been paid for telling her story but he conceded a British news organization that he did not name paid $3,530 to one of her daughters for a picture of her before the mauling.

The surgeon, who also led teams that performed a hand transplant in 1998 and the world's first double forearm transplant in 2000, said the woman would receive royalties from selling images of her new face in a deal set up by one of his friends.

"I do not want photographers to make money off this poor lady," Dubernard said.

At a news conference Friday, Dubernard said the woman had taken a pill to try to sleep after a fight with one of her daughters. But he denied she tried to kill herself.

Doctors, citing French laws protecting the anonymity of patients, have refused to identify the patient.
