Dogs almost tore off a child's hand in Primorye.
In Rodania Bay, a pack of dogs attacked a boy. The baby did not have time to escape - the animals bit his elbow area, causing damage to the brachial artery. A fisherman came running in response to the scream, distracted the animals, carried the victim into the house and called an ambulance.
The boy was taken to the Delangorsk clinic, where doctors performed a temporary shunt of the blood vessels to restore blood flow. He was then transferred by air ambulance to the Clinical Hospital No. 2 of Vladivostok. There, vascular surgeons replaced the shunt with a permanent one using a section of the patient's vein.
After prolonged dressings, a fat flap was implanted in the skin of the thigh. There is a long recovery ahead of us, but the hand was saved.
