This incredible young man, Tony Hansberry II, is a 14-year-old student who used an endo stitch in a way no one has ever done before and the results are a game changer.

A Jacksonville researcher has developed a way of sewing up patients after hysterectomies that stands to reduce the risk of complications and simplify the tricky procedure for less-seasoned surgeons.

Oh, and he’s 14 years old (Tony Hansberry II).

He says that his remarkable accomplishments are merely steps toward his ultimate goal of becoming a University of Florida-trained neurosurgeon.

“I just want to help people and be respected, knowing that I can save lives,” said Tony, the son of a registered nurse mom and an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor dad.

The seeds of his project were planted last summer during his internship at the University of Florida’s Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, based at Shands Jacksonville.

To understand why a teenager would be a hospital intern, it’s important to know that Tony is a student down the street from Shands at Darnel

Face2Face Africa is putting the spotlight on another teen with groundbreaking record. We’re focusing on Tony Hansberry II from Jacksonville, Florida – a prodigy in the medical field.

Back in 2009, at the age of 14, he came up with a surgical technique that will help surgeons reduce the time it takes to perform hysterectomies.

Hysterectomy is one of the most aggressive surgical procedures involving the removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

Born to a registered nurse and an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor, the Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School of Medical Arts freshman’s invention has helped to minimize complications during surgery.

What is now known as the “Hansberry Stitch”, the technique improved how the female sex organ is sutured after a hysterectomy. Thanks to him, time spent in such procedures has reduced including pains and complications.

Hansberry II came up with the novel method during his stint at Shands Hospital, Jacksonville. At that time he was enrolled at the University of Florida’s C
