I don't see how it can work either. How do you keep an entire head perfused for the umpteen hours it takes to anastamose all the little arteries? To sew an artery, you have a set of loupes on your head and need perfect lighting. There is no way an entire team can be working concurrently because everyone will be in everyone else's way. This part alone will take all day.
This has got to be fake. You can achieve the same surgical outcome by walking into the caliphate and singing the baby jebus song.
