Replantation is viable for roughly six hours. Keep the part cool and dry, do not wash it, and call now. We coordinate directly with referring hospitals across South Gujarat.

My son's cleft repair was explained to us in Gujarati, step by step, before anything was decided. Two years on, his speech is normal and the scar is barely visible.
I came in with a crushed hand after a factory accident. Dr. Shah operated the same night and I am back at work with a functioning grip.
After eleven months of a non healing diabetic ulcer, the wound closed in seven weeks under his care. He saved my father's foot.
How to store an amputated part, what not to do, and the realistic window for replantation.
Splinting, physiotherapy and the timing that decides whether a release holds.
Which procedures qualify, what documentation hospitals need, and where gaps remain.
These are the questions that come up in consultation most often. If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp. Dr. Shah's team replies personally.
Ask your question →Most reconstruction after burns, trauma, cancer clearance, cleft and diabetic foot is functional, not cosmetic, so it is generally payable under mediclaim, Ayushman Bharat PM JAY and state schemes. We check your policy and give a written estimate before admission.
Replantation is realistically viable for about six hours for a finger, and less for a hand or forearm. Wrap the part in clean gauze, place it in a sealed bag over ice, never directly on ice or in water, and call the emergency line while travelling.
A well planned release with flap or graft cover holds, but only if splinting and physiotherapy are followed for the months that follow. Recurrence is almost always a rehabilitation problem rather than a surgical one, which is why we schedule structured follow up.
Lip repair is usually done around 3 to 6 months and palate repair around 9 to 18 months, with speech assessment, alveolar bone grafting and any secondary correction planned later. The timeline is set at your first consultation and shared in writing.
Every incision leaves a scar; the aim is to place it in a natural line or crease and let it mature. Most scars soften considerably by 9 to 12 months with silicone, sun protection and, where needed, steroid injection or laser resurfacing.
Yes. A large share of our trauma, burn and limb salvage work arrives as referral from hospitals across South Gujarat, and we coordinate transfer, imaging and OT scheduling directly with the referring team.
Send clinical photographs and reports on WhatsApp for a preliminary opinion, usually the same day. If surgery is likely, we tell you what will be needed, the expected stay and a cost band before you make the trip.
