On August 12, Ba Ria General Hospital (HCMC) said it had just successfully performed surgery to reconnect the right forearm completely severed due to a workplace accident for a male worker.
Previously, on August 10, Mr. D. Q. T. (resident of Dong Nai City) was taken to Ba Ria General Hospital for emergency treatment in a state where his right forearm was severed after an accident while working. According to reports, this person slipped and fell into a working industrial iron saw.
Assessing this as a severe injury case, potentially life-threatening and affecting the patient's mobility, the medical team at Ba Ria General Hospital was quickly mobilized to conduct a consultation and quickly put the patient into surgery.
After more than 6 hours of continuous surgery with the smooth coordination of the teams, important structures of the forearm were restored and limb circulation was successfully restored. During this process, the patient was transfused 8 units of blood.
The surgery initially achieved favorable results, forearm circulation was restored, the hand was warm pink and showed signs of good blood circulation. Immediately after the accident, the patient was quickly taken to the hospital for surgery in just 1 hour," said Dr. Phan Van Tu - who directly performed the surgery to reconnect the forearm for the patient.
According to Dr. Tu, because the patient was brought in early, it helped the treatment process and recovery ability to be more favorable. The successful reattachment of the patient's forearm is only the first step of the long-term treatment process. The patient needs to be closely monitored for blood supply, surgical wounds, bone healing and nerve and nerve recovery to detect and handle promptly if complications occur. When the condition has stabilized, the patient will be gradually rehabilitated to optimize mobility.
