 Normally the misconception is that the moment they say ice box, they will always bring it straight into the ice box, that means the amputated fingers are straight away put into the ice. This will cause actually detrimental to the treatment. In fact it will become the ischemia, necrosis and even the subsequent replantation results will not be very good. Once the finger is put back, we look at two time frames, the first five to seven days when actually whether we need to look at whether the finger will survive or not survive and once it survives five to seven days generally the risk of rejection is not there. Then we need to look at how functional these parts of the fingers are and sometimes we might have to do additional surgeries within the next six months or so to get the function of the finger completely back. These are technically highly demanding surgeries which require a high amount of magnification with a good amount of microscopes and very fine instrumentations. These are also required to be done with a bit of expertise. Surgeons at our department have got the maximum experience. Generally the risk of failure of these re-implants is for about five to seven days and the patient is undergoing post-op recovery right now and all the fingers look alright. However even when the fingers survive, the functionality of the finger depends upon the severity of the trauma. So my advice is to prevent these injuries rather than treat them. Make sure that your bike is not running when you clean the wheel or the sprocket of the chain and do it when it is completely off and clean it manually if you have to do so. It's my suggestion to either do it in a non-running condition of bike or take help from some professional who have been doing it for a long time. It's not every time people make mistakes. This incident happened with my brother so basically I know what is going through. Not everywhere you get the same sort of facility and your hands get repaired so it was his right hand. Here we are very helpful because I'm from Guwahati and I know that these would not have been repaired over there. He was very lucky that he was in Bangalore and he got the best facility. Dr. Ashok is himself looking after all of his dressing and post-op part and I would recommend don't do this on your own, cleaning of chain, bike chains or anything. If you are doing it do it manually or else go to the service centre. Post operation the staffs are really very great. The nurses and the sisters and the brothers are very great over here. They supported a lot, very helpful in every aspect of the need. He is great so we ideally thank him for being such a great doctor.
