Doctors at Manipal Hospitals in Mysuru did a very special surgery to reattach a man's hand that got cut off in an accident.
The man is the only person who earns money for his family.
The doctors worked together very quickly and carefully.
They fixed the bones, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons.
The hospital also helped the man by paying for his treatment.
The surgery was a big success, and the man's hand is working well again.
This shows how important it is to get to the hospital quickly and have a good team of doctors.
A multidisciplinary team at Manipal Hospitals, Mysuru successfully performed a complex hand replantation surgery on a young male patient.
The patient's left hand was amputated at the wrist in an industrial accident, and he was the sole breadwinner of his family.
The surgery involved stabilising fractured bones, repairing arteries, veins, nerves, and tendons, and lasted over five hours.
The procedure was supported by the Anaesthesiology, Operation Theatre, and ICU teams, with financial assistance provided by the Manipal Foundation.
