Doctors operated on a 14-year-old guy who almost lost his.

The kitten was in a transformer box. Pulling out a furry comrade, the lifeguard grabbed the wires with his right hand. A discharge of current passed through the heart and left through the left foot, the press service of the capital’s health department reported. The teenager lost consciousness, but after some time he woke up, gained strength and called his mother.

The child received deep burns to the hands and feet.. Fortunately, my heart was not hurt. From Tula, the teenager was taken to the Speransky Children's City Clinical Hospital No. 9, where they performed an operation to remove the affected tissue.

As a result of electrical injury, the boy’s right arm was seriously injured. Muscles, tendons, and even joints were affected.. To prevent further damage, the arm was stabilized with an external fixation device in a position favorable to the limb. The skin of the foot was restored by autodermoplasty (skin grafting).

After the operation, special atraumatic mesh dressings were used that provide a more gentle dressing and do not injure the wound..

Then the patient was transferred to the Filatov Children's Hospital No. 13, where instead of the affected tendons, the boy was given rubber substitutes. To preserve the functions of the brush, plastic was made on top using its own skin-muscle flap.

Doctors predict a favorable treatment outcome. The teenager can already walk, but it will take time to restore the functions of the hand.
