By bringing the victim to the hospital within the golden hour, the doctors avoided the situation of having to amputate the hand.
Hyderabad, April 23, 2022: Doctors at Aware Gleneagles Global Hospital (Elbinagarh), one of the premier hospitals in the city, have saved the right hand of a young engineer who was seriously injured in a road accident with a complex surgery. The engineer also suffered from vascular injury and compartment syndrome. As he was seriously injured in the accident, the doctors avoided the situation of amputating his hand to save his life.
Gleneagles Global Hospital Consultant Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon Dr. V.V Satyanarayan E. was aware of the victim’s condition on arrival at the hospital. Satyanarayana said, “The victim who was seriously injured in a serious road accident was rushed to the hospital. His hand was badly damaged in the accident. Leaving it like that would have caused more trouble in the future. Normally, however, the hand should be removed completely. But, after talking to the victim’s family members and taking their permission, we urgently performed a complex elbow surgery, along with vascular repairs. The surgery was a complete success with no complications. “The victim was able to move his fingers first and then his elbow.”
This 36-year-old young engineer from Hyderabad is now able to perform all his duties. He is the breadwinner of his entire family. If the hand has to be removed, not only the victim but the whole family will face a lot of trouble. The doctors were able to save the victim’s hand by bringing the victim to the right hospital within the ‘golden hour’ after the accident.
Dr. Satwinder Singh Sabharwal, CEO of Aware Gleneagles Global Hospital, gave an advice to those who helped the victims of the accident. He said, “It is very important to bring the accident victims to the hospital with all the specialized departments at the right time. Only in such a place, the condition of the victims can be properly assessed and proper treatment can be provided as soon as possible. “If we can bring the accident victims to the hospital during the golden hour, we can save their lives,” he said.
