Surgeon Roger Adlard said it was the most complex amputation case he had ever operated on.
St George's Hospital
Consultant plastic surgeon Roger Adlard performed the initial 13-hour operation with his colleague Farida Ali. "All I remember was coming through the doors into A&E and being greeted by a phenomenal amount of people. I couldn't count them.""We had to join not just tendons and nerves and arteries but put in grafts for every single piece of tissue that we needed to repair.
Mr Adlard said:"Farida and I took it in turns, with one of us taking veins from his foot and the other stitching the veins to arteries in his hand using a microscope and a very small needle. After the operation, the doctors noticed some of the skin on Mr Lelliott's palm was infected and dying and that his middle finger was still too badly damaged to be saved."We made the decision that to save the rest of his hand, we'd sacrifice his middle finger and effectively fillet it to help reconstruct the skin and bone which was missing from his palm.
