Doctors reattach school boy's severed forearm
Colombo National Hospital Doctors have successfully re-attached a 15-year-old boy’s right forearm after it was severed in an accident at Balummahara on Thursday, hospital sources said.
CNH Chief Nursing Instructor Pushpa Ramyani de Soysa told Daily Mirror the seven-hour long surgery was performed soon after the boy was brought to the hospital with the severed part of the forearm.
“The plastic surgery was successfully completed by our doctors and staff and now the teenager is in a stable condition at a post-surgery ward,” Ms. Soysa said.
Oshada Madushanka from Walauwatte in Gampaha was rushed to hospital after his forearm was severed in an accident when a Kirindiwela bound bus had overtaken another bus he was travelling in.
Initially the injured boy had been transferred to the Gampaha General Hospital and later transferred to the Colombo National Hospital.
The driver and the conductor of the bus had fled the scene but the bus was taken into custody. However, they had later surrendered to the Gampha Police and produced in the Gampha Magistrate’s Court and remand till April 2.(Piyumi Fonseka)
