When Mr. Anuj Shukla, a resident of Akbarpur in Kanpur Dehat, started experiencing severe pain and swelling in his hand, he had no idea it was the beginning of a life-threatening condition. What started as simple discomfort quickly turned serious—Anuj's fingers began to darken, and he experienced unusual bleeding and swelling. Doctors diagnosed him with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his hand, a rare condition that creates abnormal connections between arteries and veins, leading to tissue death.
Worried about permanent damage or even losing his hand, Anuj was sent to Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital in Lucknow. This hospital is known for its advanced vascular care. Dr. Ashutosh Pandey, a Consultant Vascular Surgeon, planned an emergency surgery to close the abnormal blood vessels and stop tissue death.
The situation was urgent—Anuj's hand was in danger. The team at Tender Palm worked together to make a difference. Along with Dr. Pandey, the Plastic Surgery team helped protect important nerves and supported the reconstruction efforts to restore blood flow and hand function.
Thanks to the hospital's quick action and skilled teamwork, the bleeding stopped, gangrene was prevented, and most importantly, Anuj's hand was saved. He recovered well, regained use of his fingers, and left the hospital grateful and relieved.
“I had lost hope… My fingers were turning black. But Tender Palm Hospital didn’t just treat me—they saved my hand and my future. I’ll always be thankful to Dr. Pandey and his team.” – Mr. Anuj Shukla
