The implant has a hand that is nourished on the leg

The transplant, which lasted more than 10 hours, completely restored the arm to a knife-cut worker in 2013. But few know how that implant has lived on the couple. This man's leg.

Return to the story of a worker named Xiao Wei who lives in Hunan Province, China in 2013. At that time, Xiangya Hospital in the capital city of Hunan Province received Xiao's critical emergency case. Wei when he accidentally cut the blade into his hand.

The doctors successfully rescued Wei's hand by connecting it to his legs.

According to iBTimes and FLScience, with every effort, doctors successfully rescued Wei's hand by connecting it to his feet. The head of the fatal surgery with Wei, Dr. Tang Juyu, decided to carry out the operation after confirming that the only chance to save Wei's hands was to use the limb technology . This technique has been successfully applied in a similar case in 2013.

However, because Wei's arm was severed and was severely injured, the doctors decided not to immediately reinstall the surgery. Instead, doctors chose to use the nerves, arteries and leg tendons to heal and restore his hands.

Dr Tang explained: "Under normal temperature, a severed finger needs to be continued to provide blood continuously for 10 hours but that time is even shorter for a split limb. If the limb loses blood too long, the tissue will die and will never be saved ".

Time before surgery.

On November 10, 2013, doctors at the Changde Hospital in Hunan Province successfully reshaped Wei's hand after more than 10 hours of surgery. Most of Wei's hands have been recovered after the healing process usually lasts more than a month from the help of the legs.

According to Dr Tang, Wei's health is now stable and he can move his fingers gently, but he is still being cared for by doctors to restore his function completely.

Grafting parts to another part of the body to sustain them has been a fairly successful technique in China recently, although this medical technique has yet to be realized. the popularity in many places, in other words is still quite rare.

After surgery, a hand rebuild is done.
