Beauty Queen Has Quarter Of Her Skull Removed And Stored In Her Stomach And Later Re-Attached.

Before the surgery and after the surgery.


A former beauty queen has undergone an incredible surgery where a quarter of her skull was removed and stored in her stomach while she recovered from a devastating head injury.
Surgeons removed the rear quarter of Jamie Hilton's skull and placed in her abdomen so that the bone would remain sterile and nourished as her brain swelling subsided.
When the mother-of-three and former Mrs. Idaho woke up from the operation she found the large, hard lump in her stomach and a portion of her head missing.
The skull remained in her abdomen for 42 days until it was re-attached in a successful operation and now, three months after her near death experience. Now shes back home and recovering well.




Safe: The skull was put in her stomach to keep the bone nourished for after the brain swelling went down

In hospital: After 42 days, the piece of skull was then put back into Jamie's head in a successful operation

On the mend: Hilton, 36, has been blogging about her progress and has returned to work
