Dr. Hassan Al-Noamani, President of Sohag University and Professor of Orthopedics, Traumatology, and Microscopic Surgery, and the medical team accompanying him at the Hand Surgery and Microscopic Surgery Unit at Faculty of Medicine, performed a surgical operation for a 6-month-old girl, suffering from complete congenital paralysis of the left upper limb with an inability to move by reconnecting the severed nerves using a surgical microscope.
Al-Numani explained that this operation is considered one of the most accurate and difficult surgeries with high skill performed in the unit, during which all the damaged and severed nerves were successfully reconnected, adding that the Hand Surgery and Microscopic Surgery Unit includes the latest capabilities and advanced medical equipment, which helped in the success of the operation with the presence of a distinguished medical team with a high level of efficiency, as this operation represents a new addition to the unit’s record of successes, as it strengthens the unit by conducting such operations free of charge since its establishment in May 2014 until now.
Dr. Yasser Othman, Director of the Hand Surgery and Microscopic Surgery Unit, said that during the operation, an exploration was made of the nerve plexus feeding the left upper limb, and an exploration of the nerves emerging from the spinal cord from the spinal column to the nerve plexus, up to the place where the nerves reach the armpit area, and it was found that there was a cut in the Fifth and sixth root nerve and fibrosis in the seventh, eighth and first thoracic nerves.
