The Spanish surgeon has performed more than 500 procedures of these characteristics, with a success rate over 99% of the cases.
The informative program on medicine and health of Televisión Castilla y León (TVCYL), ‘Diagnóstico’, focused its last edition on amputations and microsurgical replantations. When it came to treating upper limb clinical pictures, the program counted on the testimony of Dr Francisco del Piñal, a world leader in catastrophic hand reconstructive surgery and finger reimplantation, as well as toe to hand transfer interventions.
Piñal centered his participation on toe transplants, a technique which he has performed more than 500 procedures with a success rate over 99%. In his remarks, the Spanish surgeon and microsurgeon treats the functional and aesthetic recovery of the damaged areas, comparing the surgery carried out with the application of welding spots in nervovascular connections below a millimeter in diameter, with a nylon suture thinner than a human hair. These points, together with the work with the bone and tendon structures, give function and sensitivity back to the affected hand and preserve the fundamental characteristics of the donor foot.
Dr Piñal’s contributions to the advances in microsurgical techniques offer new hope to patients who have suffered traumatic amputation of one or several fingers. Providing they receive prompt medical attention and surgery is performed as soon as posible, fingers replantation deliver very satisfactory results nowadays.
Piñal y Asociados team is specialized in addressing this clinical condition, with patients even returning to their previous work activities, in some cases.
Born in Santander, northern Spain, in 1960, Dr Francisco del Piñal is considered one of the world’s best hand surgeons. His contributions in the fields of microsurgical toe to hand transfer or arthroscopic surgery techniques on wrist fractures are endorsed and used internationally.
Currently, Francisco del Piñal leads Piñal y Asociados clinics and the unit of hand and microsurgery at Hospital Vithas Madrid La Milagrosa.
