In the 1920s, Soviet scientist Sergei Briukhonenko conducted controversial experiments involving severed dog heads. Using an apparatus called the autojector, he successfully kept a dog's head alive for up to 1 hour and 40 minutes by supplying it with oxygenated blood. The head exhibited reflexive responses to stimuli, such as closing its eyes when exposed to light. These experiments aimed to explore resuscitation techniques and artificial circulation, leading to significant advancements in experimental physiology. However, the ethical implications of such research remain heavily debated.

Complex hand injuries are not common, but they are all the more serious. They occur due to the detachment of the skin cover and are often associated with the loss of the hand's skeleton and adjacent tissues, tendons, and nerves.

The principle of treatment involves cleaning the traumatized hand of necrotic tissues, followed by reconstructive surgeries 🪡 using techniques such as osteosynthesis, microsurgery, or replantation.

In this case, the hand was injured by hot rollers. After carefully cleaning the vital tissues, doctors covered the patient's hand skeleton with a perforator anterolateral thigh flap, thus restoring the skin cover of the hand. The flap healed within 6 weeks, after which the patient was able to perform active movements and start rehabilitation. In the following six months, doctors will separate the skin cover and create new interdigital spaces 🖐 so the patient can return to a fully self-sufficient, active life and work process.
