A Polish man who had his tongue removed has had a new one made using tissue taken from his buttocks. Jarislav Ernst, 23, from Gliwice, now has a functioning tongue made from his backside after surgery at the Oncology Clinic in Gliwice's General Hospital. Head doctor Stanislaw Poltorek said: "The new tongue is alive and well-supplied with blood, and the patient is doing well." Mr Ernst's tongue was removed after it was diagnosed with cancer. Dr Poltorek added: "We removed the tumour-filled tongue, checking that there were no remaining cancerous cells around the patient's mouth, then collected skin, fat and nerve tissue from the man's buttocks and modelled that into a new tongue, which we sewed into his mouth." http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1965833.html |

Yeah...in many ways that is funny and kind of gross at the same time. But you can't help but be amazed at that they could actually pull that off and have it work. You have to admit that any one of you would choose a butt-tongue over no tongue at all. I wonder if he has a giant divit in his ass cheek now. |
