Indian man undergoes pioneering surgery to have his right arm reattached after it was torn off by train

After the successful operation, Gujarat then underwent several skin grafting surgeries for the remaining raw areas.

 Consultant Dr Nitin Ghag said: 'Any amputation and amputations of upper extremities, in particular, have a major impact on patients' lives, as loss of function can not only affect his daily life but also hinder social interactions and capacity for work.

'As major amputations occur frequently with high-energy trauma, accompanied by various and occasionally life-threatening injuries, it is important to primarily address those injuries to save the patient's life.

'The decision between salvaging or amputating a limb must be made rapidly.'
