About the Procedure
What is Hand reconstruction and microsurgery?
Hand reconstruction and microsurgery involves restoring form and function to hands and fingers damaged by trauma, crush injuries, amputations, burns, or congenital conditions using advanced microsurgical techniques under an operating microscope. It combines bone fixation, tendon repair, nerve reconstruction, and microvascular tissue transfer to reconnect or rebuild blood vessels, nerves, and tissue as small as 1mm in diameter. This surgery is critical for saving amputated digits, restoring grip strength, and preserving sensation and mobility.
Who may be considered?
Hand reconstruction and microsurgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Reattachment of a completely or partially amputated finger, thumb, or hand by microsurgically reconnecting bones, tendons, arteries, veins, and nerves.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Microsurgical Replantation of Amputated Finger/Hand
Emergency ProcedureReattachment of a completely or partially amputated finger, thumb, or hand by microsurgically reconnecting bones, tendons, arteries, veins, and nerves.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $150 - $500
CBC, coagulation profile, blood grouping, X-ray of hand/digit, ECG, viral markers (HIV, HBsAg, HCV)
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $4,500 - $9,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~5-7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~4-6 weeks recommended
Total stay: approx 6-8 weeks
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Emergency surgical team and OT charges
- Microsurgery equipment and implants
- ICU/post-op monitoring for vascular checks
- Standard room stay and nursing care
- Initial physiotherapy sessions
Usually Not Included
- Airfare and international travel
- Extended physiotherapy after discharge
- Splints, braces, or custom orthotic devices
- Second surgery if replantation fails
- Visa and accommodation for attendant
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery typically involves splinting, gradual mobilization, and structured hand therapy over several weeks to months, with regular follow-up to monitor healing of vessels, nerves, and tendons. Full functional recovery may take 3-6 months depending on injury severity and technique used.
Risks
Risks include vascular thrombosis or flap/replant failure, infection, nerve damage leading to numbness or reduced sensation, stiffness, and incomplete return of hand function requiring further surgery.
Alternatives
In cases where replantation or reconstruction is not feasible, alternatives include amputation revision with prosthetic fitting, or conservative management with occupational therapy to maximize residual function.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- X-ray or CT scan of the injured hand/finger
- MRI of hand or forearm (if soft tissue/nerve involvement)
- Nerve conduction study/EMG (if applicable)
- Recent clinical photographs of the injury/deformity
- Prior surgical or discharge reports (if previously treated)
- Blood investigation reports (CBC, coagulation profile)
- List of current medications and allergies
- Details of injury mechanism and time elapsed since injury
Patient information needed
- Age and dominant hand of the patient
- Exact time and mechanism of injury (crush, cut, avulsion)
- Whether the amputated part was preserved and how (cooled/wrapped)
- Any pre-existing conditions (diabetes, vascular disease, smoking history)
- Previous surgeries on the affected hand
- Current pain level and functional limitations
- Occupation and functional goals (return to work, hobbies)
- Insurance or budget considerations for treatment
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Hand reconstruction and microsurgery in India
What is Hand and finger injuries?
Hand and finger injuries refer to trauma affecting any of the structures of the hand or fingers — including skin, bones, joints, tendons, nerves, or blood vessels — resulting from causes such as cuts, crush events, falls, burns, or work-related accidents. The severity and the specific structures involved determine the type of care required.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Hand and finger injuries?
Common presentations include pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, restricted movement, numbness or tingling, skin breaks, or — in severe cases — partial or complete loss of a digit or portion of the hand. Underlying damage to tendons or nerves may not be obvious on external inspection, meaning the visible extent of an injury does not reliably reflect its true severity. Experiencing these symptoms warrants prompt clinical evaluation, as symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish the nature or extent of injury.
How is Hand and finger injuries diagnosed?
Assessment typically begins with a structured history covering how, when, and where the injury occurred, the patient's hand dominance, occupation, and any relevant medical conditions such as diabetes or peripheral vascular disease that may affect healing. Physical examination focuses on range of motion, tendon integrity, two-point discrimination and other neurological tests, vascular perfusion, and wound characteristics. Plain X-rays are standard for detecting fractures and joint dislocations; CT scanning may be used for complex fractures, while MRI or ultrasound can help evaluate soft-tissue structures such as tendons and ligaments when the clinical picture is unclear.
How is Hand and finger injuries treated?
Treatment is highly individualized and depends on the injury type, the structures involved, the time elapsed since injury, and the patient's overall health and functional goals. Straightforward fractures, minor lacerations, and partial tendon injuries may be managed conservatively with splinting, wound care, and structured hand therapy, whereas displaced fractures, complete tendon or nerve lacerations, vascular injuries, and amputations typically require operative intervention. Procedures available through specialist hand surgery services include hand and finger reconstruction and, for cases involving severed vessels or replanted digits, hand reconstruction with microsurgery; the most appropriate pathway is determined by an individual clinical assessment.
Can Hand and finger injuries be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical management plays an important role for many hand and finger injuries and may include protective splinting or casting, wound care and infection control, occupational or hand therapy to restore movement and strength, and pain management. However, injuries involving complete tendon division, unstable fractures, significant nerve or vascular damage, or tissue loss are unlikely to achieve acceptable functional outcomes without surgical intervention, and the treating clinician is best placed to advise on which pathway applies to a specific injury.
When is Hand reconstruction and microsurgery considered for Hand and finger injuries?
Hand reconstruction and microsurgery may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Hand and finger injuries?
Hand and finger injuries are evaluated and managed by a hand surgeon — typically a plastic and reconstructive surgeon or an orthopaedic surgeon with subspecialty fellowship training in hand surgery. Complex cases involving microvascular repair or replantation additionally require expertise in microsurgery.
How do I choose a doctor for Hand and finger injuries?
When selecting a provider, it is worth asking about the surgeon's volume of experience with your specific injury type (for example, tendon repair, microsurgical replantation, or complex reconstruction), their hospital's emergency hand surgery availability and intensive care support for microsurgery cases, and what structured hand therapy and rehabilitation follow-up is included in the care pathway.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
