Efforts to Promote Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery

Setting up of the State of the Art “Ganga Microsurgery Training Institute”

for advanced training in Micro Surgery at Ganga Hospital

Lack of laboratory training in reconstructive microsurgery was a big handicap for the growth of the

speciality in India. This was made good with the setting up of a lab with standards as good as

abroad. This has emerged as a popular training lab in the world. 2024 Surgeons from 68 countries

and 124 cities in India have been trained in the lab. Many trainees have gone back to their

respective places and did the first Microsurgical Flaps and Replantations in their units.

Comment of Dr Robert D Acland, Louisville, USA, the pioneer in Microsurgery on his visit to

the Microsurgery Lab at Ganga Hospital, February 2006.

―I am so happy to be here in your new United Nations of Microsurgical progress and education.

This feels the same, in terms of energy and excitement as Louisville in the 70‟s, or Ljubjena in the

80‟s. My best wishes for your long continued success.‖

In the 1st September 2007 issue of the British Medical Journal, Careers, Dr Philip Yong, one of the

trainees from London, wrote an article about the high standards of training offered in the Microsurgery

Lab of Ganga Hospital. This article created tremendous enthusiasm among the trainees around the world

to visit the centre.

Creation of Paid Fellowships for training in Hand and Reconstructive

Micro Surgery

Dr S Raja Sabapathy took efforts to institute Fellowships for training younger surgeons in the field

of Hand and Microsurgery. This was in collaboration with industry leaders in the field. These paid

Fellowships attract quality surgeons towards the field and has greatly changed the scenario of Hand

and Microsurgery training in the country. These fellowships are the first of their kind and are most

sought after by candidates completing M Ch training in Plastic Surgery.

This Fellowship enables middle level senior people in public hospitals and teaching institutions

to spend 8 weeks at Ganga Hospital learning the protocols of management of different problems. In

turn it is hoped that the trainees will impart the knowledge gained to their students. The first of this

is

Ganga Hospital – Johnson & Johnson Fellowship in Hand and Reconstructive

Microsurgery

Mr. William Dearstyne, Company Group Chairman, Johnson & Johnson visited the Hospital on 5th

March 2002. During the presentation of the work of the departments of the Hospital it was suggested

that paid fellowships as available abroad will encourage the faster spread of Reconstructive

Microsurgery. The advantage of its application in Hand Surgery and Trauma reconstruction and its

need in India was stressed. Mr. Dearstyne was impressed of the potential of Ganga Hospital for

such collaborative effort. As a follow-up of the visit, two Fellowships were set up. Each Fellowship

is of the value of Rs 25,000. Now it hast been upgraded to Rs 37,500. Johnson & Johnson provide

the funding and the Ganga Hospital provides the training. The selected candidates spend 6 to 8

weeks at Ganga Hospital and they take part in all clinical and academic activities of the unit. They

also undertake the weeklong Microsurgery laboratory course at the Ganga Microsurgery Training

Institute. We had an overwhelming response when the applications were called for vindicating the

concept with which we set the fellowship.

Institution of Bruce Bailey Traveling Fellowship (for British Trainees)

Mr. Bruce Bailey, Retired Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, United

Kingdom passed away in April 2001. He was responsible for training many Plastic Surgeons from

India including Dr S Raja Sabapathy. He opened the windows of opportunities for many young

surgeons from our country. In the memory of this great man “Bruce Bailey Traveling Fellowship”

was set up by Dr S Raja Sabapathy. Bruce visited India many times and loved it. It is felt that

setting up a Fellowship to enable a British Trainee visit our unit for a period of 6 to 8 weeks is a good

way to keep the memory of the great man alive. It surely will build bridges between the two

countries to mutual advantage. The Fellowship is recognized and announced in the newsletters of the

British Association of Plastic Surgeons and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand for the

information of the interested candidates.

It is worthy to add the impressions of the Bruce Bailey Fellow about the scheme.

―I am a Specialist Registrar in Plastic Surgery at Canniesburn Hospital in Glasgow in the UK, in my

final year of training. I have been very lucky to be selected as the very first Bruce Bailey Fellow,

and I have been at Ganga Hospital for the last 2 months. During this time, I have been involved in

112

the management of more major upper and lower limb injuries than I would normally see at home

in several years. The opportunity to be a part of the team at Ganga, working in a different

country with a completely different culture, whilst maintaining the highest clinical standards,

as good as the best units in the UK, has been a fascinating experience. There are many

differences, but also many similarities between the two systems! The Bruce Bailey Fellowship has

been a great learning experience for me….‖

- Mr Rodrick Dunn – 2002

Mr Dunn won the Lester Surgical and Heinz Waldrich Prize worth £ 1500 for the best Micro

surgically oriented paper presented during the BAPS meeting held at London, Dec 2003 for the

paper, ‘Passage to India – Bruce Bailey Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery’. The paper was

about the experience and the work done during his fellowship at Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore. Rod

presented the prize of £ 1500 worth of Micro instruments to the department.

Creation of

Ganga Hospital – Johnson & Johnson Visiting Professorship

in Hand and Microsurgery

A new chapter in our continuing efforts for the promotion of Hand and Microsurgery was made in

the year 2005 by the starting of the Visiting Professorship programme. It is a joint effort of the Dept

of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery and the Ethicon division of Johnson & Johnson.

A hand surgeon of international repute is invited to spend a week in the department. The visiting

Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders)

Medicines Sans Frontiers is an organization which renders medical care in regions conflict and its

service was recognized for the Nobel Peach Price in the year 1999. At the recommendation of

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Chanjiv Singh, Ms. Farhat Mantoo, Human Resources Officer of MSF – India,

New Delhi visited our centre on 1st August 2008. She penned the following words in our visitor‘s

book.

―I thank you for the hospitality. I have seen the Hospital and I am really impressed. I found the

people welcoming and the best was seeing the Iraqi patient and your nonverbal communication. You

can really bridge barriers. Dr. Sabapathy, I appreciate your support and willingness to extend your

expertise to all‖.

- Ms. Farhar Mantoo

She found that the type of work done and the learning opportunities available in the department

would be very useful to surgeons in regions where reconstructive surgery is much needed. As a pilot

project 2 surgeons from Iraq, from the region of Sulaimaniya came for a few weeks and also took the

microsurgery lab course. They found it useful and visit to Ganga Hospital has become a routine to

surgeons with responsibility in reconstructive surgery and maxillo facial surgery in the region. So far

14 surgeons from Sulaimaniya, Iraq have come for training and we are happy that indirectly we are

able to make a difference in the lives of people far away.

Making the Advances in the Speciality available and affordable to the masses.

Save the Working Hand – Phase I - Poster project - 1995

A poster campaign with the Rotary Club of Coimbatore Metropolis was started under the banner,

‗Save the Working Hand‟, emphasizing the need for safety in the workplace. Dr S Raja Sabapathy

was the Project leader. 5000 posters in different colours with good messages were printed (2 on the

need for safety in the workplace and the third about the first aid measures to be taken in the event of

injury) and distributed to all industries. Campaign talks were also given in the industries. It had a

very good effect and all industries recorded a decrease in the number of accidents.

Save the Working Hand – Phase II – Surgery for Poor Workers – 1998

We reduced the number of injuries, but we had higher goals. In the unfortunate event of an accident

we wanted every injured patient to get the best possible treatment. A Rotary matching grant project

was done which facilitated reconstructive surgery for poor patients who needed specialized treatment

including major microsurgery. 100 patients were treated. The funds from the grant were utilized

for the consumables with Dr Raja Sabapathy and team waiving their fees. Rs 391,000 was the

grant amount, but the total project value was Rs 1,095,000. So every „rupee of the grant went a

long mile‟.

was created from his great toe. He went back to his job again. A disastrous situation was turned into

useful recovery and he was confident to face the world again. 100 such patients were treated, by

making complex microsurgery available to the masses.

Save the Working Hand – Phase III – „Help for the Hands in need‟ –

The project was a great success and it was decided to do it on a bigger scale. It was renamed as

„Help for the Hands in Need‟ to enable us to serve not only injured workers but also children with

spastic hands and with birth defects. Swamini Pramananda inaugurated this scheme and it was a

matching grant scheme again with the Rotary Club with the grant being to doubled to US $ 12000.

Due to the free service of the medical team, the total project value was US $ 30000. This time

in addition to accidents, children with birth defects and spastic hands were also treated.

Creation of Ganga Hand Injury Support Group

This group was inaugurated by Hon Justice Shivaraj V. Patil on 20th December 2007 in the presence

of Dr B A Anantharaman, President, Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand. It is dedicated to better

the lives of people who suffer serious injury to their hands and upper extremity. The group will

comprise of patients who have suffered such injuries, surgeons involved in the care of patients,

therapists, social workers, industrialists and any one who is willing to give a helping hand.

Good recovery after hand reconstruction often takes time, and it requires perserverance on the part of

the patient. No one is able to provide this support better than a person who has been in similar

circumstances and is presently doing well. Mr. Srinivasan and Mr. Biju who had sustained very

serious hand injuries gave inspirational speeches on the occasion. Former patients in this group will

give valuable support to the patients and their families. It will provide the network and the needed

information.

Present day society does offer help to differently able persons. But many are not aware of the

opportunities available. The group will serve as a resource base to help people know the possibilities.

Ganga Hand Injury Support Group will

Help people live with change

Face the world with confidence

Open up windows of opportunities
