In the fields of reconstructive microsurgery and hand surgery, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has made significant scientific advancements and surgical innovations.
The “Qatar Flap,” a brand-new surgical innovation, makes it easier for patients to get back to their regular lives after undergoing cosmetic surgery by restoring the natural function of the finger without causing any disability or disfigurement.
“Hand injuries are common, and the Department of Plastic Surgery at HMC receives many hand injuries that call for a precise surgical intervention to restore the finger’s functional and anatomical state,” said Dr. Saleem Al-Lahham, a Specialist in the Department of Plastic Surgery. The surgical alternatives may vary depending on the type of finger injury, however many of these procedures leave painful scars on the fingers and some call for sacrificing significant blood veins in the fingers, making them unpopular with patients.
The creator of this flap, Dr. Al-Lahham, explained that this surgical innovation is based on functionally and aesthetically repairing fingertip injuries through a single surgical procedure that involves one of the small secondary arterial branches, which helps restore the fingers to their natural shape without any impairment or deformity. Dr. Al-Lahham pointed out that the new surgical invention known as the “Qatar Flap” shows the skills and resources that Qatar and HMC have made available to medical experts in order for them to provide the finest care possible to patients.
“More than 100 surgical procedures have been successfully completed with the help of this surgical invention, and we do five of these surgeries weekly. In addition to the medical and scientific value it brings to numerous surgical specialties, it is anticipated that this innovation will become the standard option for fingertip restoration surgeries throughout the world.
One of the most reputable peer-reviewed journals in the field of reconstructive and aesthetic hand microsurgery, “PRS GLOBAL OPEN,” featured the surgical breakthrough in a scholarly article.
According to the journal, HMC’s innovation is a wonderful development that will improve the results of finger restorative and cosmetic surgeries. It is also a trustworthy solution that can be carried out in a single surgical procedure while protecting the finger’s arteries.
