Delhi painter gets hands back in successful bilateral transplant

Delhi witnessed the first successful bilateral hand transplant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. A painter who lost both hands in a train accident will now be able to hold his brushes once again.

The 45-year-old man lost both his hands in 2020. He was staring at a dead end. However, things turned in his favour as the hands of Meena Mehta, former administrative head of a prominent South Delhi school who was declared brain-dead, came to the painter's rescue. During her lifetime, Mehta pledged her organs to be donated after her death.

The bilateral hand transplant took more than 12 hours, it involved connecting every artery, muscle, tendon and nerve between the donor's hands and the recipient's arms.
