The loss of a finger can be highly distressing. The good news is that it can be surgically replaced using a procedure called finger replantation at Recon Plastic Surgery Centre, Hubli.
An amputated finger is a finger that has been completely severed from the hand. This can occur due to an accident, trauma, or surgery. If you have suffered from an amputated finger, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. An experienced surgeon will be able to assess the situation and determine if replantation is possible.
Amputated finger replantation is a surgery to reattach a finger that has been completely cut off. The goal of this surgery is to restore function and sensation to the replanted finger.
The right candidate for an amputated finger replantation is typically someone who has recently suffered from an amputated finger and wants to have it surgically reattached. This procedure is not for everyone. Your eligibility for replantation will be determined by Dr. Arun Jeedi based on the severity of your injury.

Finger replantation is performed under general anesthesia. In general, the procedure has several stages and the order may change based on the finger’s structure and surgical preference.
After the surgery, the replanted finger will be placed in a splint or cast. You will be asked to keep your hand elevated to reduce swelling. If you smoke, you will be asked to quit because smoking can delay healing. You will likely experience some pain and discomfort after the surgery. Dr. Arun Jeedi will prescribe medication to help manage this. Most people stay in the hospital for 3-5 days after surgery. You will be seen by Dr. Arun Jeedi for follow-up appointments to check on your progress. Full recovery from finger replantation can take several months. During this time, you will likely need to see a therapist to help regain function and sensation in the replanted finger.
Finger replantation surgery can restore both function and sensation to the affected finger, as well as improve the appearance of the hand. In addition, this surgery can also help to improve the quality of life of the patient. Finger replantation surgery is complex and requires a highly skilled surgeon. However, the benefits of this surgery can be life-changing for patients who undergo the procedure.
The cost of finger replantation will be determined by Dr. Arun Jeedi during the patient’s OPD consultation after he evaluates the patient’s unique circumstances, understands the patient’s goals and desires and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment.
