Severe Nerve and Vessel Damage
According to Dr. B. Krishna Chaitanya, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, the injury resulted in complete transection of digital nerves, tendons, and blood vessels supplying the ring and little fingers. The patient arrived at the emergency department with profuse bleeding, loss of finger movement, absence of sensation, and compromised blood flow.
Clinical examination revealed:
- Complete loss of movement in two fingers due to severed tendons
- Reduced oxygen supply to affected digits due to arterial disruption
- Loss of sensory perception
Advanced Super Microsurgery Performed
The patient was immediately shifted to the operation theatre for emergency intervention. Using advanced super microsurgical techniques under an operating microscope, surgeons repaired the severed digital arteries, tendons, and delicate sensory nerves.
“The damaged blood vessels and nerves were meticulously sutured using stitches finer than a human hair,” said Dr. Krishna Chaitanya. “Timely arrival at the hospital played a crucial role in preventing permanent disability and preserving finger function.”
The procedure successfully restored blood circulation to the affected finger and reconstructed the delicate neurovascular structures essential for movement and sensation.
Emotional Touch in the OT
In a unique gesture to ease the patient’s anxiety, the surgical team played the same “Shoorveer” song inside the operation theatre after learning about the emotional context of the injury. The move reportedly helped calm and reassure the patient.
Successful Recovery
Post-surgery, blood flow to the little finger was restored, sensory recovery began, and the viability of the fingers was preserved. Doctors emphasized that immediate medical attention following deep cuts or hand injuries is critical to prevent permanent functional loss.
Dr. Krishna Chaitanya cautioned against the use of sharp objects during performances and urged the public to seek prompt medical care in the event of serious hand injuries to ensure optimal outcomes.
