Czech doctors save patient’s mangled leg

Czech doctors, in an extraordinary operation at the Vinohrady hospital this week, managed to save the mangled leg of a patient who had suffered a car crash. Doctors managed to save the 31-year-old patient’s foot after it was practically severed at the ankle, through extensive reconstructive surgery. Specialists were able to reconnect severed veins, arteries and nerves. Afterwards one of the surgeons said such operations are “once in a decade”. The patient is now in recovery.
