This Sunday, I would like to applaud the medical team at MTRH that successfully replanted/re-attached a traumatically amputated limb.

The patient, a 35-year-old male, had a Left Hand Traumatic Amputation through the carpus (wrist).

The MTRH team worked in two teams, alternately repairing/re-attaching the limb and revascularization. The surgery, a medical marathon, took over 11 hours to complete.

This morning, the patient was moved from ICU to General Orthopedics Ward where he will continue with daily reviews/initiation of Occupational Therapy rehabilitation.

Well done to the Surgical team at MTRH:
Francis Kosgei - Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE), Theatres
Sharon Cherotich - Perioperative Nursing Officer (NO)
Nehemiah Nyainda - Perioperative NO
Rose Keino NO, Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Caren Cherotich - Student Nurse
Oscar Ang'anda- Student Nurse
Michael Omondi- Clinical Officer (CO) Anaesthetist
Ezra Samoita-CO Anaesthetist
Dr Brian Christie- Plastic Surgeon, Indiana University (IU)
Dr Andrew Vernadi- Plastic Surgeon, IU

Dr Harsh Vadgama- MTRH Consultant Orthopaedics & Trauma (Shoulder Surgeon)
