Mr. Abhimanyu Kumar, aged 35 years, was brought to Prayag Hospital on July 6, 2026, in a critical condition after sustaining a deep cut injury to his right forearm. The injury resulted in profuse bleeding and placed him at immediate risk of permanent loss of hand function because of extensive vascular and tendon damage.
The emergency team immediately assessed the patient, and rapid clinical evaluation confirmed the severity of the injury. Considering the significant blood loss and the complexity of the trauma, doctors shifted the patient for emergency surgery without delay to prevent irreversible damage to the affected limb.
The emergency limb-saving procedure was successfully performed by Dr. Chandan Mishra, Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Prayag Hospital and Research Centre Pvt. Ltd. During the operation, the surgical team found complete transection of both the radial and ulnar arteries along with multiple flexor tendon injuries. Doctors carried out meticulous repair of both arteries and reconstructed the damaged flexor tendons to restore the structural integrity and function of the forearm.
Following the vascular repair, blood flow to the hand was successfully re-established, and satisfactory distal circulation was confirmed before the procedure was completed. The restoration of circulation significantly reduced the risk of permanent disability and loss of limb function.
The patient responded well to treatment and recovered smoothly under close medical supervision. He was discharged in stable condition with advice to undergo physiotherapy and attend regular follow-up appointments. Doctors expect early rehabilitation to support the gradual restoration of strength, mobility, and functional recovery of the affected hand.
Mr. Abhimanyu Kumar expressed his gratitude to the doctors, nursing staff, and hospital management for their prompt response, expert surgical care, and dedicated support that helped save the function of his hand.
Dr. Chandan Mishra, Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Prayag Hospital and Research Centre Pvt. Ltd., said, "This was a highly challenging vascular and tendon injury where every minute was crucial. Complete transection of both the radial and ulnar arteries, along with multiple tendon injuries, carries a significant risk of permanent disability if not treated immediately. Timely surgical intervention, meticulous vascular repair, tendon reconstruction, and coordinated perioperative care enabled us to restore blood flow and preserve hand function. Such cases highlight the importance of rapid diagnosis and emergency surgical expertise in achieving successful outcomes."
