Dr Shobhit Sharma, Principal Consultant, Plastic, Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery at Yashoda Medicity, described the procedure as a “race against time”. According to the hospital, the patient’s arrival within the appropriate treatment window played an important role in allowing surgeons to attempt reimplantation. “Every structure, from the smallest blood vessel to the tendons and nerves, had to be repaired under the microscope with utmost precision. The fact that the patient reached us within the golden window made a huge difference to the outcome. The hand now has restored blood supply,” he said.
