A remarkable and intricate arm reattachment surgery was successfully performed by a team of doctors at Sahyadri Hospital in Pune. The patient, Ramesh (name changed), had suffered the loss of his right upper limb in a bike accident while traversing Dive Ghat.

The surgery, conducted on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, symbolizing triumph and homecoming, was led by Dr. Sumit Saxena, a skilled plastic and cosmetic surgeon at Sahyadri Hospital's Hadapsar center.

Facing a critical situation due to severe blood loss and the complexity of the amputation, the medical team, led by Dr. Saxena, embarked on a six-hour-long surgery. The procedure involved meticulous repair of major structures including vessels, nerves, muscles, tendons, and bones to reattach the severed limb.

Dr. Saxena acknowledged the rarity and complexity of such surgeries, emphasizing the criticality of post-reimplantation care in ensuring the success of these rare cases.

Ramesh, after weeks of hospitalization and comprehensive care, exhibited an impressive recovery within a span of 15 days. His discharge marked a testament to the expertise and dedication exhibited by the medical staff at Sahyadri Hospitals, especially Dr. Saxena and his team.

The surgical feat undertaken on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, where the medical team prioritized patient care over personal celebrations, not only rescued Ramesh from a potential catastrophe but also epitomized the essence of Diwali – the victory of light over darkness.

Dr. Saxena expressed gratitude to the team that contributed to the success of the surgery, acknowledging the collaborative efforts of various medical professionals including Dr. Tapadia (Orthopedic), Dr. Rupa Abraham (Anesthetist), Dr. Inayat (Orthopedic), Dr. Manish (Assistant), Brother Dharmendra, Sister Priyanka, and all ICU and ward staff at Sahyadri Hospital.
