Hand Transplant

Best Hand Transplantation Surgery in Bangalore

Amputation of the hand is a devastating injury and can have a serious impact on your life. Losing both hands is even more devastating, affecting a person in many ways: psychologically, socially, and financially. 

Till recently, prosthetic limbs (artificial limbs) were the only solution available that could be very useful. However, they are not always suitable for mimicking precise motor control and tactile sensation (natural touch). Hand transplant surgery provides a life-changing choice – it not only restores function but also gives back a feeling of self-reliance. In our Department of Plastic, Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore, we offer you this transformative procedure. 

Hand transplantation is a challenging yet highly rewarding surgery where a functional hand is taken from a deceased/cadaveric donor and transplanted to the recipient's stump. The surgery necessitates careful planning and collaboration among a dedicated group of experts.

The Hand Transplant Procedure

1. Choosing the donor: We follow a thorough process to find a compatible hand from a deceased donor (the one who opts for organ donations - kidneys, heart, lungs, eyes, etc.).

2. Pre-procedure: Patients undergo the necessary tests suggested by the doctor. They will be on immunosuppressive medications as prescribed by the transplant protocol. This can prevent rejection of the transplanted limb.

3. The surgery: The hand is transplanted to the amputee’s stump. Our Plastic, Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgeons in Bangalore meticulously connect bone, muscle, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels to the recipient's arm in this complex surgery that takes about 8 to 12 hours.

4. Post-operative care: You will need to go through vigorous physical rehabilitation in the postoperative period. This helps nerves and muscles to be retrained to ensure optimal use of the new hand. Physiotherapy usually takes around 3-6 months to regain function and sensation in the transplanted hand. 

It is recommended to go through a close follow-up for the first 6 months to ensure there is no room for any complications and if any appear suddenly, it is identified and treated on time.
