Mumbai: Youngster Rajasthan, Jagdev Singh (22), stable after undergoing hand transplants – the third in the city – which lasts 12 hours by opposing 16-18 hours.
The operation began at around 8pm at Global Hospital, Parel, on Friday after the hand, belonging to a 50-year-old man, was transferred from Ahmedabad’s civil hospital within two hours.
While his father and brother-in-law were happy to hear about blood flowing through his newly transplanted arms, they were tied by making arrangements to stay in the city for a year for much needed rehabilitation.
“We may need to sell our farm if we cannot raise adequate funds,” said Nirmal Dhillon, who married Jagdev’s sister.
Hand transplant values between Rs 22 Lakh and Rs 26 Lakh.
However, the hospital has started a donation of the drive to help Jagdev’s family with finance.
In January 2020, Jagdev tried to repair Borewell on family farming in Hanumangarh, close to the Pakistani border, when he came into contact with high voltage wire.
He was at the hospital in Rajasthan for a month before his arms and legs had to be amputated.
“He is in the second year, but must stop,” Dhillon said, he added that the young man was the Kabaddi champion.
“The only goal after the accident will see a pair of his own hands.
Fortunately come true,” Dhillon said.
Jagdev reads the global hospital hand transplant program on the internet and descends to Mumbai for the first time in August and is registered for transplants.
The family got a telephone last Thursday about potential donors in Ahmedabad and immediately rushed to Mumbai.
According to Dr.
Nilesh Satbhai, a plastic surgeon carrying a transplant, Jagdev’s procedure is not only shorter than usual, but he needs six units of blood because it opposes the 20 required during the city’s first hand transplantation carried out in August 2020.
“Surgery challenges because of the two limbs Has a different level of amputation and we cannot do mirror activities on them, “he said.
While his right arm was amputated under the elbow, left on the elbow.
It will take four to five days before the doctor can breathe easily.
“We have to wait as long as it is to check the survival of the transplant organs,” said Dr.
Satbhai.
Jagdev will live in a hospital for a month.
Dhillon said that the whole family had made young people motivated with words.
“He has family support and believes in troubleshooting than thinking about them,” he added.
