    What is a hand transplant?

    A hand transplant involves the transfer of a donor’s hand to a patient who has lost a hand due to severe injury, illness, or congenital deformities. The procedure aims to restore the full functionality and appearance of the hand by reconnecting nerves, blood vessels, tendons, and muscles. The success of a hand transplant can significantly enhance the recipient’s ability to perform everyday tasks, such as grasping objects, typing, writing, and eating.

    Hand transplant surgery is different from prosthetic options in that it provides a more natural-looking hand and the possibility of regaining sensation and movement through nerve and muscle reconnection. While the process is intricate and involves a multidisciplinary approach, the outcomes can be life-changing.

    What is a bilateral hand transplant?

    A bilateral hand transplant involves the transplantation of both hands from a donor to a recipient who has lost both hands due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions. This procedure is more complex and requires additional surgical expertise and coordination since both hands must be successfully reattached and integrated into the recipient’s body. Like a single hand transplant, it aims to restore function, appearance, and sensation, significantly improving the recipient’s quality of life.

    What conditions can a hand transplant treat or manage?

    A hand transplant is considered for individuals who have lost a hand or have severe hand dysfunction due to various causes. These include:

    • Traumatic hand amputations: Loss of a hand due to accidents, severe burns, or violent injuries. When traditional reconstructive surgeries cannot repair the damage, a transplant may restore both functionality and appearance.

    • Irreversible hand dysfunction: Conditions like severe infections, tumors, or extensive burns that cause permanent damage to the hand’s structures, impairing functionality. A transplant can offer a functional and natural alternative when other treatments fail.

    • Congenital hand differences: Hand differences present at birth that significantly affect functionality. For individuals whose hands are non-functional or severely deformed, a hand transplant can restore both function and appearance.

    • Ineffective prosthetics or reconstructive surgery: For individuals who have used prosthetics or undergone reconstructive surgery without satisfactory results, a hand transplant can provide a more natural, permanent solution for restoring hand function.

    Hand transplant in Ahmedabad

    The hand transplant process is a multi-faceted journey, beginning with detailed pre-surgery evaluations, moving through a highly complex surgical procedure, and followed by a long recovery and rehabilitation phase. 

    1. Pre-surgery phase

    The pre-surgery phase involves a series of evaluations, preparations, and consultations to ensure that the patient is physically, emotionally, and mentally ready for the complex procedure.

    • Medical evaluation: The patient undergoes a comprehensive medical assessment to determine their overall health. This includes blood tests, imaging studies (like X-rays or MRIs), and cardiovascular screenings. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, infections, or cancer may disqualify the patient from undergoing the procedure.

    • Psychological evaluation: Since hand transplant recipients will need to adjust to a new hand, including possible complications and long recovery, psychological evaluations are conducted to assess mental preparedness. A patient’s ability to handle the psychological aspects of the surgery and rehabilitation is critical to successful outcomes.

    • Donor match evaluation: The process of selecting a donor for a hand transplant is a critical part of the procedure. Donors are typically individuals who have been declared brain-dead, and their families have consented to organ donation. Key factors in selecting a suitable donor include:

      • Physical characteristics: The donor’s hand must match the recipient in terms of size, skin tone, and other physical features to ensure compatibility.

      • Blood type compatibility: The donor’s and recipient’s blood types must be compatible to reduce the risk of rejection.

      • Age & Health of donor: The donor’s age, medical history, and overall health are considered to ensure the transplant will be successful and the transplanted hand will function optimally.

      • Immunological compatibility: While exact tissue matching is not required, the medical team seeks the best possible match to minimize the risk of rejection.

    The hospital works closely with organ procurement agencies to identify and match suitable donors based on these criteria.

    • Immunosuppressive therapy preparation: Hand transplant recipients must take immunosuppressive medications for the rest of their lives to prevent rejection of the transplanted hand. These medications lower the immune system’s ability to attack the transplanted tissue, ensuring the new hand is not rejected. However, these medications also increase the risk of infections, so careful management is necessary. The patient receives counseling and education about the importance of lifelong medication adherence and regular monitoring.

    • Surgical planning: The surgical team prepares for the complex procedure. This includes planning the operation with a highly skilled team that includes vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, and orthopedic surgeons. The exact surgical steps are mapped out based on the individual’s anatomy and the donor hand’s characteristics.

    2. Surgical procedure

    The hand transplant surgery itself is highly intricate and typically takes between 12 and 18 hours. It involves several phases, requiring skilled surgical teams and meticulous care.

    a. Anesthesia & Pre-surgical preparations

    The patient is placed under general anesthesia, ensuring that they are completely unconscious and pain-free during the procedure. Monitors are attached to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout the operation.

    b. Removal of the donor hand

    Once the donor hand is identified, the surgery begins by carefully removing the donor’s hand from the donor’s arm. The donor hand is typically harvested from a brain-dead donor whose family has consented to the donation. The hand is carefully prepared, with the surgeon focusing on preserving the blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and tendons that need to be connected to the recipient’s arm.

    c. Attaching the donor hand to the recipient

    This is the most critical phase of the surgery. The surgical team connects the donor hand to the recipient’s arm in several steps:

    • Vascular reconnection: The arteries and veins are connected to restore blood flow to the transplanted hand. Blood vessels are reattached using precise microsurgical techniques. This ensures that the hand will receive a proper blood supply, preventing tissue damage and promoting healing.
    • Nerve reconstruction: Surgeons then work to reconnect the nerves from the transplanted hand to the nerves in the recipient’s arm. This process is crucial for restoring sensation and motor function to the hand. Nerve regeneration is slow, and it may take months or even years for the recipient to feel sensations like touch, pain, or temperature.
    • Muscle & Tendon attachment: The tendons and muscles of the transplanted hand are reattached to allow movement. This step is important for functional recovery, as the ability to move the fingers and wrist depends on successful tendon reattachment.
    • Skin closure: After all structures have been reconnected, the skin is carefully closed with sutures, ensuring that the transplanted hand is properly positioned.

    The procedure is highly complex and requires the skill and precision of a multi-disciplinary surgical team.

    3. Post-surgery phase (Rehabilitation & Long-term care)

    a. Immediate post-surgery care (Hospital stay)

    The patient is usually required to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 weeks following surgery. During this time:

    • The transplanted hand is monitored for signs of infection, poor circulation, or graft rejection.

    • If there are any signs of rejection, immediate intervention is needed, which may include adjusting the immunosuppressive medication regimen.

    • Physical therapy begins in the hospital to encourage movement in the transplanted hand and help the muscles heal. Initially, this may include gentle exercises and range-of-motion activities.

    b. Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy (Months to Years)

    Rehabilitation is one of the most important and longest phases of recovery following a hand transplant. It can take months to years for the recipient to regain full function in the transplanted hand, and extensive physiotherapy is required:

    • Movement & Strength training: The focus is on restoring both fine motor skills (such as writing or typing) and gross motor skills (such as grasping objects or lifting). This process requires a combination of muscle strengthening exercises, joint mobilization, and coordination training.

    • Sensory rehabilitation: Nerve regeneration is a slow process. Sensory function, such as the ability to feel touch or temperature, may take months or longer to return. Specialized therapies, such as sensory retraining, may help the brain adjust to new sensations.

    • Psychological support: Since a hand transplant is a significant life change, psychological counseling and support are important to help the recipient adjust to their new hand. This can include individual therapy or support groups with others who have undergone similar procedures.

    c. Long-term care & monitoring

    • Immunosuppressive drugs: The recipient will continue to take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of the transplanted hand. Over time, the medications may be adjusted, but the patient will be on some form of immune-suppressing therapy for life.

    • Ongoing follow-ups: Regular visits to the healthcare team are necessary to monitor the health of the transplanted hand and ensure that there are no complications, such as infections or signs of rejection.

    • Adjustment to daily life: As the hand continues to heal and strengthen, the recipient will gradually return to regular activities. This might include returning to work, driving, or engaging in hobbies that require the use of both hands.

    d. Lifelong monitoring & adjustments

    The long-term success of the hand transplant depends on how well the recipient adheres to their medication regimen, their progress with rehabilitation, and their ability to manage the physical and emotional challenges that come with having a transplanted hand. Regular checkups and monitoring are essential to ensure the transplant’s continued success.

    How long does a hand transplant take?

    The duration of a hand transplant surgery generally ranges from 12 to 18 hours. The procedure is highly intricate and involves reconnecting blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and tendons. The exact length of time depends on the complexity of the surgery and the specific requirements of the recipient and donor.

    Benefits of a hand transplant

    The benefits of a hand transplant are significant and can include:

    • Restoration of hand function: The recipient can regain the ability to perform everyday tasks like holding objects, typing, or using tools.

    • Restoration of sensation: Through nerve reconnection, some sensation in the transplanted hand can be regained, enhancing the recipient’s ability to feel touch, pain, and temperature.

    • Improved appearance: A transplanted hand can look more natural compared to prosthetics, improving the aesthetic outcomes for the recipient.

    • Enhanced quality of life: Recipients can return to a more independent lifestyle and engage in activities they may have once struggled with, such as driving or participating in hobbies.
    Book a Consultation

    Risks or potential complications of a hand transplant

    Like any major surgery, hand transplants come with certain risks and potential complications:

    • Rejection of the transplanted hand: The immune system may attempt to reject the new hand, which is why immunosuppressive medication is necessary.

    • Infection: Immunosuppressive drugs increase the risk of infections, both in the transplanted hand and the rest of the body.

    • Blood flow issues: Problems with blood circulation to the transplanted hand may occur, potentially leading to graft failure.

    • Nerve damage: Although nerve reconnection is a primary goal, full sensory recovery can take time, and in some cases, may not be fully restored.

    • Side effects from medications: Long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs may lead to kidney or liver problems, increased cancer risk, and other health issues.

    When to contact a healthcare provider?

    It’s important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience:

    • Signs of rejection: Symptoms include swelling, redness, or fever around the transplanted hand, or if the hand becomes pale or cool to the touch.

    • Infection: If there are signs of infection, such as persistent fever, increased redness, or pus at the surgical site.

    • Pain or discomfort: If pain becomes severe or if you have difficulty moving the transplanted hand.

    • Changes in sensation: If you notice a sudden loss of sensation or if the transplanted hand feels numb or cold.

    Your healthcare provider should also be contacted for routine follow-ups, medication management, or if you have concerns about the recovery process.

    What our patients say about their hand treatment

    Prem Singh Rathore

    Hi, I am Prem, and I live in Naroda, Ahmedabad. Let me tell you why you should choose Dr. Karn Maheshwari and why I believe he is the best in the business for forearm and hand surgeries. At the age of 18, I broke my left hand(radius bone) in school in 2013. I remember I was in the 12th standard. It happened around teacher's day. I went to see a nearby orthopedic doctor who did my fracture and covered it with a plaster. So, there was no surgery involved. When the plaster got uncovered, I saw my hand for the first time, and I wasn't happy. It looked like my alignment(between radius and ulna bone) was messed up, and I wasn't satisfied with the result. Although the doctor kept giving me false hope about my hand, that it would get better with time, it never did. So, I started consulting with other orthopedic specialists regarding the resolution for my messed-up wrist. Until I met Dr. Karn Maheshwari, He answered all my questions, cleared all my doubts in and out regarding the possible hand surgery, and gave assurance that he'd only do the surgery, which would give me the satisfaction that I was looking forth. And after Nine years of waiting, I was convinced that this was the guy I wanted to bet my money on. Now, after the surgery, my hand looks good. The bone alignment is better, the wrist movement is better, and I feel like my hand strength is back. If you or any of your relative is looking to visit Dr. Karn, feel free to go and consult with him, and I am sure you will get the result and the answers you're looking forth. You can thank me after the surgery. My no. is available with Dr. Karn.

    Dr Karn is one of the most amazing doctors I have ever across. Not just a great doctor, he is a very good human being with a heart of gold. While most specialists told me I had to learn to put up with my ganglion pain, Dr Karn ensured I got rid of it through a successful surgery. His behaviour, treatment and never-give-up attitude boosts patients for a speedy recovery. He listens and addresses each of his patient's complaint with utmost care and attention. A few adjectives that describe him are compassionate, respectful, attentive, dedicated, kind, empathetic and much more.....

    Dr. Karn Maheshwari is really an expert and can tackle any hand related surgeries exceptionally well. My grandmother had an accident and got a really deep wound on her finger. She needed immediate operation to get it treated. We got spontaneous help from Dr. Karn and he consolably explained us the complete process for the hand operation. He skillfully completed the operation and comforted my grandmother during the same. Had really satisfactory experience during the entire procedure and she was discharged in the evening itself. I would totally recommend Dr Karn Maheshwari.

    Rajendra Acharaya

    Hello, friends My name is Rajendra Acharya, I am a resident of Bhilwara, Pur in Rajasthan. Friends, while playing cricket, my ring finger got completely broken in the middle due to a ball. For its treatment, I showed it to all places like Bhilwara, Ajmer, Jaipur and Udaipur, but no one got it. Any doctor at any place completely refused to fix it as before and said that there will be no movement in it and it will always remain straight. Then we talked to the person who met us in Ahmedabad and showed us 3-4 places there. We went to Dr. Rajendra ji Patel's place in Navrangpura. There Dr. Rajendra ji Patel asked us to get treatment from Dr. Karan ji Maheshwari and without any delay we met Karan sir and got the operation done and in just 45 days my finger came back. as it happened For this I thank Karan Sir very much for correcting my finger.

    Amit

    I hail from Sydney, Australia and had some severe wrist pain with a couple of lumps. I wasn’t able to get best medication in Sydney and ended up reading great about Dr Karn. So went to him and I had a wrist surgery done for a ganglion cyst and schwannoma(very painful) in March 2024. Technically, it should not be painful but due to some reason it was. Dr Karn did a great job in surgery and later told me that schwannoma was near my wrist bone which caused the pain. Bhavesh and Manisha were great nurses who helped me in my surgery and regular dressings. There was 1 another lady nurse and she was so helpful too. Best part was Dr Karn asked me to keep him updated after the stitches were taken off. Genuinely, you can’t get a better wrist surgeon than Dr Karn and his team.

    Ankita Morbia

    I had vein problems in arms and legs, but the most important thing was to understand my problem, I knew Dr. Karn Maheswari through society, so I decided to take his appointment and meet him, and what I knew about him. More than that I felt better, he listened to me and my problem very carefully and then did a complete examination and gave me medicine, from which I am benefiting now. I would definitely say that anyone who has the same problem as me should definitely visit sir once.....thank you sir.

    After meeting Dr. Karn my faith in humanity is multiplied by many time. My brother's arm vaines was cut in an accident. I visited many hospitals but no one has the satisfactory reply. I lost my hope. But after few days I got Dr. Karn's reference from my friend. He consulted my family and as we belong from village. He also made sure that we don't get any financial burden. Today while writing this review my brother is recovered and started his normal life. The support from Dr. karn is like blessings for me.

But Maheshwari showed him and told him that 90% movement will come in the finger. Many thanks to Dr. Karn Maheshwari sir for performing a normal operation and bringing him 90% movement.
