Sir Ganga Ram Hospital: Recently one such surgery has been done in Delhi’s ‘Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’. Which has become a topic of discussion these days. Actually, in this surgery, the person’s three severed fingers were re-attached. Along with this, the thumb was made from the toe. For your information, let us tell you that the cases of joining the finger once again through surgery are rarely seen. But the doctors of Delhi’s ‘Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’ (Sir Ganga Ram Hospital) have done this.
In fact, a team of doctors from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has recently performed a rare surgery on a 44-year-old man from Uttarakhand. The person who has undergone surgery had recently suffered a serious injury while working in a factory. In which three fingers of that person were cut off from his hand. Also the thumb was completely cut off. But through this surgery he was reunited. Along with this, reconstructive surgery was again done on a thumb.
The person undergoing surgery was hurt like this
This patient met with a serious accident while working in a factory. In which this person’s index finger, middle finger, ring finger and thumb were cut off. Eight hours after the serious injury, his co-workers working in the factory took him to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. By then he had lost a lot of blood. According to the report, when the patient got hurt in his hands and his finger was cut off, his companions took the cut fingers in a polythene bag to the hospital, but his thumb was in such a bad condition that it could not be brought to the hospital.
What was the challenge before the doctors during the surgery
Dr. Mahesh Mangal, Head, Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, when asked about the entire surgery, said, ‘The challenge for us was not only to join the three crushed fingers back to the hand, but also to reconstruct the missing thumb. Was. For this, we reconstructed the thumb using the second toe from the patient’s right foot and grafted it where the old thumb used to be. For this, a team was formed under the leadership of Dr. Mahesh Mangal, in which Dr. S.S. Gambhir, Dr. Nikhil Jhunjhunwala and Dr. Pooja Gupta and Dr. Manish Dhawan of the Department of Orthopaedics.
What is microsurgery?
For your information, let us tell you that microsurgery was started in 1981 in the Department of Plastic Surgery. Since then, surgeons have reattached body parts severed due to factory, agricultural, domestic and road accidents. Dr. Mangal says, “We have performed surgeries on more than 500 people for different body parts like fingers, toes, penis, skull, ears, upper limbs etc. We want to stress the importance of bringing the disassembled parts. Patients and relatives should always try to locate the amputated part at the site of trauma.
According to the doctor, this surgery is possible only when you bring the patient to the hospital on time, it is very important to bring the cut parts of the patient where the surgery will be done. Because during surgery the cut part has to be washed and cleaned. Then it has to be put in a clean polythene bag. After tightening this first bag, it has to be transferred to another polythene bag filled with ice. Extreme care needs to be taken so that the cut part does not come in contact with the ice. Then the patient needs to be shifted with polythene bag to a big hospital where microsurgical plastic surgery machines are available. We had two patients in the same week.
Dr. Mangal says, ‘Before this surgery, a 10-year-old child had suffered a serious injury. Which was brought to the emergency ward. In which the middle finger of the right hand was badly crushed at the distal level. When we asked the boy’s family how it happened, they told that the child got hurt while using the wood cutting machine. The condition of the finger was very bad and the patient was a child. In such a situation, it was very important to link the surgery with the child’s blood circulation. For this supermicrosurgery and very fine things were required. Along with this, a case of a 20-year-old boy from Noida came to the fore. In which the index finger of the patient was reattached after 6 hours of surgery.
