.....grafting it to his leg.


"" Chinese surgeons have saved a hand
severed in an industrial accident by
grafting it on to the man’s ankle for a
month before reattaching it to his arm.
The surgery was carried on a factory
worker known as Zhou at Xiangya Hospital
in Changsha, the capital of Hunan
province in central China.
Zhou had his left hand chopped off during
a work accident involving a spinning blade
machine and was rushed to hospital where
Dr Tang Juyu, head of microsurgery at the
hospital, decide to operate to give him the
chance to “revive” his lost hand.
The surgical team were unable to reattach
the hand to Zhou’s arm straight away as
the severed nerves and tendons needed
time to heal.
So his hand was sewn onto his leg in order
to keep it “alive” until the arm was ready.
Dr Juyu told the Telegraph: “Under normal
temperatures, a severed finger needs to
resume blood supply within 10 hours, but
that time is even shorter for a separated
limb.
“If a limb is short of blood for too long, its
tissues die and it will be unsalvageable.”
This is not the first time Chinese surgeons
have attempted this surgery, another
factory worker’s hand was saved in 2013
at a hospital in Changde, also in Hunan
Province.
The feeling in Zhou’s finger has already
returned but he will need months of
rehabilitation for it to go back to normal.""

Complications included Zhou developing athletes foot in his left hand and trying to masturbate with his foot...

Bravo..!?! that is one darn creative and technically difficult thing to do...

Wonder how long it takes for the arm to heal to get his hand back on the right appendage..?

What happened to the first guy that got his hand sewn on a leg?

It is a pretty amazing surgery....and I think theyve already sewed it back on his arm. Dont know about the first guy.

You should post that follow up surgery as well.
Still can't get over how that looked on the leg...
Pretty sure it was a free surgery, maybe as part of a hospital study...

About that first guy.....Idk which is which but the following article has a pic of a guy with a right hand grafted to his leg lol

It also includes this lil tidbit.....

"" Using skin and cartilage from a patient's
ribs, Chinese doctors grew a replacement
nose on the forehead of a 22-year-old
man injured in a car accident last year.
Growing the nose took about 9 months.
The lead plastic surgeon, Guo Zhihui, from
Xiehe Hospital, said that the patient,
nicknamed Xiaolian, could lead a normal
life after the transplant.
Last year, a British man who lost his nose
to cancer had a replacement grown on
one of his arms. His doctors said his
appearance and sense of smell should be
as they were before the transplant.""

Evidently, this type of thing is getting pretty common.

Dr. Frankenstein would be proud.

I am suspect of any of these stories coming out of China.

Here in the USA we have our own ghouls and Frankenstein in Planned Parenthood selling baby organs to the highest bidder. But don't believe the 3 hours of undercover video because Planned Parenthood says the video is edited. *snort*
