Texas man has world's first skull and scalp transplant

The first skull and scalp transplant has been performed in a 15-hour operation, say doctors in the US.

James Boysen, who is 55 and from Texas, was missing the whole of the crown of his head after treatment for a rare type of cancer.

He was also given a new kidney and pancreas during the procedure.
