В больнице Пиннакл в Визагапатнаме успешно проведены три сложных операции по пересадке пальцев детям

The Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Microvascular Surgery at Pinnacle Hospitals in Visakhapatnam has reached a clinical milestone by performing multiple complex finger replantations on three children within the past year. Finger replantation is a highly intricate procedure, requiring the reconnection of bones, nerves, and blood vessels often measuring less than one millimetre in diameter. Performing this on paediatric patients is exceptionally challenging, demanding high-magnification microscopy and specialised ultrafine instruments. Dr. Siddhartha Talabhaktula, Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon, noted that while adult trauma cases are routinely managed, performing three successful paediatric replantations in a 12-month span is unprecedented for the institution. The success of these surgeries was attributed to seamless multidisciplinary coordination between the emergency, anaesthesia, and microsurgical teams. Following the operations, the children underwent rigorous physical and occupational therapy to restore full sensation and function. Families of the patients noted that the surgical intervention provided their children with a “new lease on life” and successfully averted permanent disability. Pinnacle Hospitals management commended the team’s commitment to excellence in handling such extreme trauma, further cementing the hospital’s reputation for advanced microvascular expertise.
