Dr. Akhilesh Agarwal achieved a momentous feat at Medica Group of Hospitals, Kolkata, by restoring the hand functionality of a 29-year-old graphic designer. On 14th August 2022, Mr. S.M., a 29-year-old graphic designer, met a severe accident that resulted in the amputation of the distal part of his three fingers: index, middle, and ring. He was immediately admitted to the emergency ward of Medica Superspeciality Hospital, Kolkata, at 4 PM.
The case needed emergency yet complicated reimplantation surgery. This complicated surgery was handled by Dr. Akhilesh Agarwal with an experienced team. The surgery lasted for 6 hours. What makes it so complicated? According to Dr. Akhilesh Agarwal, the reimplantation surgery was more difficult than others because the vital structures at this distal level are relatively small, and reimplanting them together requires expertise and precision. Regardless of the challenges, the surgery was a great success.
“When the patient was brought to the hospital, he was in great discomfort, and the reimplantation surgery was the need of the hour. The recovery was successful, and it took around 2 months for the reimplanted fingers to fully recover,” said Dr. Akhilesh. The patient was satisfiedly discharged after 10 days of post-surgery evaluation.
Dr. Akhilesh’s expertise in reconstructive surgery helped Mr. S.M. to regain their hand mobility and quality of life. We can understand how important it is for a graphic designer to get his hand mobility back. With experience in plastic and cosmetic surgery for more than 10 years, Dr. Akhilesh has done numerous complicated surgeries and restored quality of life.
