Aswan University Doctors Reattach Patient’s Severed Hand in Six-Hour Operation

A medical team at Aswan University Hospitals has successfully reattached a patient’s left hand after it was completely severed at the wrist.

The delicate operation took about six hours and was carried out by doctors in the hospitals’ plastic surgery department.

The injury involved a full amputation, rather than a partial separation, leaving the hand entirely detached at wrist level before the procedure.

The team’s success was reported as a reattachment of the hand. No details were provided about the circumstances of the injury or the patient’s subsequent recovery and hand function.
