Chinese patients will undergo the world's first head-changing surgery
The world's first volunteer for head-changing surgery, the 31-year-old Russian Valery Spiridov admits that his dream has been shattered, and the head-changing surgery that was scheduled for this year is no longer realistic. Sergio Canavero, an Italian doctor who has been controversial for head-changing surgery, has announced that he will be the world's first head-to-head surgery for a Chinese patient in China.

As a preparatory experiment, Dr. Canavero recently participated in an experiment in which a mouse was changed to a head in a laboratory in Turin.

However, Spiridolov, who hopes to cooperate with Dr. Canavero for two years, has to admit that he has lost hope of regaining his new life.
The 31-year-old Valery Pirinov has been born with a rare congenital spinal muscular atrophy called "Wonick-Hoffman". Fortunately, Spiridolov has become one of the few patients who can live to adulthood compared to most children who have died of childhood.
Spiridonov said that he now accepts the fact that he does not undergo head-change surgery. "In view of the fact that I can't rely on my Italian partner (Doctor Canavero), I have to find a way."
The Russian will seek traditional spinal surgery to improve his condition compared to experimental surgery that medical experts consider to be extremely risky .
He said: "Fortunately, there are many well-executed surgical cases where steel bars are used to support the upright spine. This can be done in some hospitals in Russia, which can help me reduce my breathing difficulties, and Acting more easily on public transportation."
He said that traditional surgery can not restore his muscles and move freely, but can fundamentally improve his quality of life. Today, he hopes to raise the cost of surgery for 32,000 pounds (about 280,000 yuan) through crowdfunding.
He said: "I don't feel angry about the inability to perform a head-changing operation. I am very grateful to Dr. Canavero for their joint efforts to make better changes."
