Complex Microvascular Surgery Restores Blood Circulation Following Critical Injury
Medical Team Led by Dr. Tayyab and Dr. Ambreen Saves Young Patient from Jhelum
Doctors Issue Crucial Guidelines on Preserving Severed Limbs During Medical Emergencies.
Surgeons at Holy Family Hospital achieved a major medical breakthrough by successfully reattaching the completely severed hand of a five-year-old boy. The young patient, a resident of Jhelum, suffered the traumatic amputation in a tragic accident involving a heavy blade (toka) and was brought to the hospital emergency room in critical condition on August 28.
A specialized surgical team led by Dr. Tayyab and Dr. Ambreen immediately performed a complex replantation procedure. Utilizing advanced microvascular surgery techniques, the surgeons meticulously reconnected the delicate blood vessels, arteries, and veins, fully restoring vital blood circulation to the reattached hand. Hospital sources confirmed that the surgery was successful and the child’s hand is recovering well.
Following the successful operation, the medical team issued key advisory guidelines for handling severed body parts during emergencies. Doctors emphasized that an amputated limb should never be placed directly on ice; instead, it must be sealed inside a clean, dry plastic bag, which should then be placed into a secondary container filled with ice before rushing the patient to the hospital immediately.
