Regaining a hand does not only involve a successful surgery. It also requires follow-up care, rehabilitation, adaptation to the new tissue, medication, and a long process to perform basic movements again. In cases like this, the goal is to regain functionality, independence, and quality of life.

Muhammad’s story shows how far modern reconstructive medicine can go. For Al-Sa’idi, the transplant is not just a surgical procedure, but the possibility of using his body in a different way again and regaining part of his autonomy 🩺
