I have heard of a skilled surgeon in Miami, Florida who has done some interesting work. He has done reconstructions when there was little hope. I will look for the threads and send it to you thru a PM. Maybe speaking to the person who underwent a major surgery could help you to see if it would be possible to get help from this doctor. I know you say "I give up", but you never know, this could be the help you need. I will email it to you when I find it.
