Replantation of a totally amputated finger of an MBBS student

Priya Thakur is a 2nd prof student of MBBS at NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur.
She met with an accident on 22nd September 2019 at about 10 AM.


Plastic surgeons at Jabalpur advised her that the best chance of replantation of amputated finger will be if she get operated by Dr Hari Singh Bisoniya at Bhopal.

On their advice, Priya reached Bhopal at 11pm on the same day (13 hours after finger amputation). 

She was operated from 12 midnight to 3:30 AM and finger was successfully replanted.

At Bisoniya hospital replantation of a totally amputated fingers/thumbs/toes is a routine surgery for many years now with almost 100% success rate.

Replanted fingers/thumbs works naturally after wound healing and bony union.

Both thumbs of this patient were replanted by Dr. Hari Singh Bisoniya at Bisoniya Hospital.

1 day after Replantation

10 days after Replantation

How to preserve amputated part while waiting for replantation – clean amputated part, then keep it in a polythene bag, make this bag waterproof and then this bag having amputated part should be kept in another container having ice and water (temp approx 4degree).

There should not be direct contact between amputated part and water/ice.

By preserving amputated part with the above mentioned method, replantable time can be doubled.

Message – don’t throw away any amputated part of the body, it is either replantable or usable in one or other way.

Journey Of Hair Growth After Hair Transplant

Hair transplant (HT) is the permanent treatment of baldness or androgenic alopecia. In HT hair roots are transplanted and from these transplanted roots hairs grow.

Before operation

1 day after HT from sides and back of head to bald area.

Donor area in head was not sufficient so next day hair roots harvested from beard and transplanted in crown (posterior part of bald area)

3 days after Hair Transplant. Donor area over head and beard healed completely.

1 week after Hair Transplant

2 months after Hair Transplant
Photo taken after PRP treatment (needle prick, blood visible).
Period from the end of 1 month to end of 3 months, after hair transplant is most depressing to patients as in most of the cases hair growth is visible after 3 months.


4 months after Hair Transplant

5 months after Hair Transplant

6 and a half months after Hair Transplant

It can be noted that 6months after Hair Transplant appreciable hair growth is visible

So it takes about 10-12 months after Hair Transplant to get maximum and final result of Hair Transplant.
We had harvested 2000 hair roots from beard but hair density in beard looks natural.
