Fisherman's Hand Saved After Eel Bite at Wockhardt Hospitals

A fisherman got bitten by an eel while working near the beach, causing a serious injury to his hand.

The injury caused the hand to swell and lose blood flow.

He was rushed to Wockhardt Hospitals where doctors performed emergency surgery to save it.

The surgery relieved pressure and restored blood flow.

The doctors were also careful to prevent kidney problems, which can happen after this type of injury.

The fisherman is recovering well and will need more treatment to fully regain use of his hand.

This case shows how important it is for people in coastal communities to get quick medical help for injuries.
