Chinese and French medical teams are to collaborate on a new face transplant procedure, according to reports.

The doctors involved are the medics who carried out the first two partial face transplants in China and France respectively, the China Daily reports.

Guo Shuzhong, the lead Chinese doctor on the team, explained to reporters the possibility of a joint medical venture with the specialist French plastic surgery team.

He said: "I met with Phillippe Domy, director of French Amiens Hospital on November 26th in Xi'an.

"Domy's hospital carried out the world's first face-transplant operation. We were both strongly interested in co-operating on face transplants."

The first-ever man in China to receive a facial transplant was Li Guoxing, a 30-year-old farmer who was attacked by a bear.

Mr Shuzhong continued: "Though we did not discuss the details, the Chinese and French teams agreed to co-operate on basic research in plastic surgery and since the French side has better research conditions and equipment, they will provide technical training to our young doctors at their hospital."
