A specialized Egyptian medical team successfully reattached four severed fingers on the left hand of a young man, following his admission to the Trauma and Emergency Hospital at Assiut University in the south of the country.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the surgery was performed by a specialized team at the Hand and Microvascular Surgery Unit, aiming to reattach the fingers and restore their blood circulation.<\/p>\n
The patient is currently under close medical observation to assess the viability of the fingers and monitor his recovery progress.<\/p>\n
Mohamed Abdel Hamid, Director of the University Trauma and Emergency Hospital in Assiut, stated that “the hospital received a university student who suffered a severe injury leading to the amputation of four fingers on his left hand at the mid-palm level, caused by a sharp machine.”<\/p>\n
In an exclusive statement to Sky News Arabia, Abdel Hamid explained that “handling such cases begins simultaneously along two tracks: first, evaluating the patient’s general condition to ensure stability and rule out other injuries; and second, preparing for urgent surgical intervention to save the severed fingers.”<\/p>\n
The hospital director added that “after confirming the patient’s condition was stable and conducting the necessary examinations and X-rays, the Microvascular Surgery Unit\u2014affiliated with the Orthopedic Surgery Department at Assiut University’s Faculty of Medicine\u2014was contacted to initiate preparations for the operation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
