JAMMU, July 15: One of the hands of a 30-year-old man was saved from amputation by a team of doctors at Dr KD Multispeciality Hospital, Jammu.
The man, a carpenter by profession, got his left hand grievously injured by a wood cutting saw at his shop. Four fingers of the left hand including thumb had deep cut wounds with damage to skin, tendons, bones, and neurovascular structures. The extent of damage was so severe that he had been advised finger amputation at other hospitals.
Finally, the patient came to Dr K D Multispeciality Hospital, Marble Market and consulted Dr Rahul Gorka (Plastic, Microvascular and Cosmetic Surgeon). Dr Gorka examined the patient carefully and planned emergency reconstructive microsurgery for him. Subsequently, the patient underwent successful repair of the damaged tendons, bones and neurovascular structures of all the damaged fingers by microsurgical techniques under magnification.
The intra-operative and postoperative course of the patient was smooth and he was discharged after 2 days. In the surgery, Dr Zaid (Anaesthetist) and paramedical staff assisted Dr Rahul Gorka.
Dr Rahul Gorka has rich experience of more than 10 years from reputed institutes like AIIMS New Delhi and CMC Vellore (Tamil Nadu) and is an expert in managing all cases of plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, limb and facial trauma, burns, skin tumors, diabetic foot, bedsores, cleft lip/palate, liposuction, hair transplant and anti-ageing procedures.
Dr Sumit Sharma, CEO of the Dr KD Hospital, said that their Hospital is well equipped with all multispeciality departments. He further laid emphasis that no patient has to go outside Jammu for any kind of treatment.
