Artery injuries are serious and potentially limb- or life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention. Whether due to trauma, sharp lacerations, fractures, or crush injuries, damage to an artery can lead to severe bleeding, tissue death, and functional loss if not treated promptly and precisely.
Dr. Ravi Saroha, a senior plastic, reconstructive, and trauma surgeon in Delhi, is highly experienced in microsurgical arterial repair. His expertise in fine vascular suturing and soft tissue reconstruction ensures restoration of blood flow, limb viability, and tissue healing with minimal long-term complications.
Yes. Artery injuries are surgical emergencies. Delay in treatment can result in severe blood loss, tissue death, or even limb amputation. Immediate medical attention is critical.
The injured artery is exposed, cleaned, and repaired using microsurgical sutures. If the artery is too damaged to reconnect directly, a vein graft may be used to bridge the gap and restore circulation.
Ideally, within 6 hours of injury. This is known as the "golden window" for limb salvage. Beyond this period, tissues begin to die due to lack of oxygen, increasing the risk of permanent damage.
Yes, artery injuries often occur with damage to nerves, tendons, or bones, especially in hand or forearm trauma. Dr. Saroha is skilled in performing combined reconstructive procedures to address all affected structures.
Yes. Especially in limb injuries, physiotherapy helps restore mobility, strength, and function. Dr. Saroha provides a structured rehab plan as part of comprehensive care.
