A British man has become the first person in the UK to undergo a hand transplant after losing his own to gout.
The eight-hour operation was performed on 51-year-old Mark Cahill at Leeds General Infirmary in Northern England after a donor was found just after Christmas.
Mark Cahill, the first UK recipient of a hand transplant, speaks after the operation about how he feels, and what the new hand means for him.
