BOSTON — Doctors at a Boston hospital have performed a full face transplant on the Connecticut woman who was mauled and blinded two years ago by her friend’s pet chimpanzee.

Officials at Brigham and Women’s Hospital performed the transplant on Charla Nash late last month, the hospital announced today.

The 30-member surgical team also performed a double hand transplant on Nash, but the hands failed to thrive and were removed.

John Orr, a spokesman for the Nash family, said Nash developed numerous health problems after the surgery and only recently regained consciousness.

“She developed pneumonia, she had kidney failure, she had the circulation issue with the hands,” Orr said. “She’s been under, so to speak, since this whole thing began, and now she’s just starting to wake up.”

Orr said he has not seen Nash, but is told by her brother, Stephen, that Nash looks “fantastic, in terms of the face.”

The 200-pound pet chimpanzee, named Travis, went berserk in February 2009 after its owner asked Nash to help lure it back into her house. It ripped off Nash’s hands, nose, lips and eyelids, blinding her before being shot and killed by police.
