Overview

Peter E M Butler, FRCSI, FRCS (born 1 September 1962) is Professor of plastic surgery at University College London, consultant plastic surgeon, clinical director of surgery and head of the face transplantation team at the Royal Free Hospital in London, England.

Face transplantation

Peter Butler began the experimental work leading towards facial transplantation in 1993 at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, this work continues today. On returning to the UK he set up the clinical research programme in facial transplantation in 2002. [1]This programme was one of the first in the world. Two other teams existed at that time one at Louisville, Kentucky, USA and the other at the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, USA. In 2004 a team led by Dr. Maria Siemionow at the Cleveland Clinic became the first institution to approve this surgery. [2] There was considerable resistance to facial transplantation taking place in the UK. [3] In October 2006, after overcoming the ethical hurdles Peter Butler's team received permission from the North London Research Ethics Committee to go ahead with a series of four full face transplant operations to be carried out at the Royal Free Hospital. [4] Some news outlets have speculated that their team is likely to be the first to perform such a transplant.[5] [6] However, Dr. Butler stated in an October 27 press release that their team "will not be rushed" and "It may be many months before we are ready to carry out an operation.”[4] The costs of the operation is to be funded by a charity, 'The Face Trust", set up by Peter Butler in 2006. [7] Patient selection for facial transplantation is currently ongoing.
