Abdominal flap for hand reconstruction!!

Probably a weird feeling trying to wiggle your fingers inside your body. Surgeons have sewn this man’s hand to a 'pocket' inside his abdomen in order to save it from being amputated. The patient lost both his fingers and all the skin from his hand after suffering a degloving injury in a workplace accident. His hand had been pulled into and trapped between two coil rollers in an industrial machine used to make plastic tableware. The skin had been torn off, destroying tissue, severing blood supply and leaving bones and tendons exposed with very little skin on the palm and dorsum of his hand.
