A
team led by Dr Pinki Pargal working in CMC hospital ,ludhiana as Professor
plastic surgery treated a patient aged 29 year male from ludhiana who was a
case of assault leading to the total
amputation of his left thumb and multiple other sharp injuries .
The
patient was immediately taken up for digital re-implant procedure by the
treating doctor.
His
thumb was reimplanted after surgery lasting six hours.After the procedure of
re-implant was done,his thumb was well vascularised and the patient is doing
well ,admitted in plastic surgery and planned for discharge within 2-3 days
It
is pertinent to mention that very few institutions have the capability to treat
such conditions.
The
treating doctor expressed satisfaction & thankful to God that she was able
to restore his hand function & prevented patient from going disable.She
further said that CMC hospital is a pioneer of such microvascular surgeries.
Awareness
needs to be spread among public that amputated limbs can be salvaged, provided
amputated parts are brought in proper condition & within 6 hours of golden
period.
Those
who assisted her in the surgery were Dr.jedidiah..Dr.ankur sharma,Dr George,Mr
