Doctors Save Man’s Severed Hand and Attaching It To His Leg

Doctors in central China decided upon a surgery that will leave everybody scratching their heads (and feeling a small indefinite amount queasy)—they connected a man’s cut hand to his leg.

The patient, a working person known as zhou, lost his left hand in a very workplace incident “involving a spinning blade machine,” according to the Daily Mail.

The procedure is meant to provide the nerves and tendons within the cut hand to time to heal before reattaching it. A cut finger, Dr. Tang explained, must be reconnected to blood provide at intervals ten hours—for cut limbs, however, that window is could be a heap shorter.
“If a limb is brief of blood for too long, its tissues die and it'll be unsalvageable,” said Dr. Tang.

Dr. Tang’s team with success reattached Zhou’s hand to his arm in a very 10-hour surgery. Incredibly, Chou dynasty will currently move all of his fingers, however can would like plenty of rehabilitation before he regains full use of his hand.
