Reconstructive surgery gives a child a new nose
CBS News followed the multi-stage reconstruction of a child from the Marshall Islands whose severe facial injury had left him without a functional nose. Its report centered on the surgical team led by Dr. Tal Dagan, the use of three-dimensional planning, and the patient’s return of functions including smell as healing progressed.
A 3D-assisted plan for complex nasal reconstruction
FOX News described how digital three-dimensional modeling helped guide a highly complex reconstructive plan for a teenager who traveled from the Marshall Islands. The coverage highlighted the staged operation, the creation of a functional nasal structure, and the patient’s improved ability to smell and taste.
New York coverage of collaborative reconstructive care
The New York Daily News feature, preserved within Mount Sinai’s media archive, brought the reconstructive case to a local audience. The archived reference places Dr. Dagan’s work within the coordinated specialty care and technology that supported a rare, multi-stage facial reconstruction.
A wider record of reconstructive service and innovation
A later professional profile revisited Dr. Dagan’s reconstructive mission work and the national attention surrounding it, including the historical HuffPost feature. This entry links to that attributed archival profile rather than reproducing or presenting the publisher’s writing as Dagan MD content.
The institutional record of the reconstructive collaboration
Mount Sinai’s newsroom identifies Dr. Dagan as lead physician in a collaborative, multi-stage nasal reconstruction at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. It is the principal source for the clinical chronology cited on this site.
