Abstract
The hand transplant programme conducted by the Department of Transplantation in Lyon, France, is based on a clinical trial programme approved by the Minister of Health, which allowed only bilateral hand transplantation after evaluation of the protocol by regulatory, scientific and ethical authorities (Comité Consultatif de Protection des Personnes participant à la Recherche Biomédicale Lyon I, Comité Consultatif National d’Éthique, Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits de Santé, Agence de Biomédecine, Comité d’Éthique de l’Université Claude Bernard, Lyon I).
