In a remarkable medical achievement, doctors in an Odisha hospital successfully reattached a youth’s hand severed in an accident. The youth has now got a new lease of life after the surgery conducted by Dr. Bibhuti Nayak and his team.
Interestingly, the doctors successfully conducted the major surgery that lasted for seven hours. The rare achievement of Dr. Bibhuti and his team is indeed one of the biggest medical achievements and is receiving accolades from all quarters.
According to sources, Kranti Kumar Paleya was working when he inadvertently placed his hand on a cutting machine, resulting in his hands severed in half. He was immediately rescued and rushed to a private hospital where Dr. Bibhuti and his team attended him.
Swinging into action, a four-member team of doctors led by Dr. Bibhuti successfully reattached his severed hand. The major surgery took them 7 hours. The condition of Krantikumar is said to be normal and his hand is slowly recovering.
“I had never thought that my hand could be rejoined. It was severed into two and completely damaged. My fingers are slowly recovering now. I’m thankful to all the doctors here,” said an emotional Kranti Kumar.
When contacted, Dr. Bibhuti Nayak, Chief Plastic Surgeon, SRM Hospital, “We were sceptical in the beginning as it was a rare injury. All his blood vessels were damaged. We feared failure in our surgery. However, the blood circulation is normal now. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. His hand is completely fine now. We will give him physiotherapy and hopefully, his hand will be functional in the coming days.”
