Dr Ghosh said: 'His left hand was completely avulsed with part of the bones attached to the body while the hand skin and muscle got detached.
'It was very difficult to rejoin the hand because all the muscle, blood vessels and soft tissue of the palm were torn off and there was no blood vessel which could be connected.
'The amputated hand was closely observed under the microscope and a small blood vessel inside the muscle was noticed.
'This tiny blood vessel was then joined to the main artery of the forearm with the help of a long vein graft taken from the leg.'
Once circulation to the amputated hand began again, the medics had to join the rest of the blood vessels using microsurgery.
The delicate work took around six hours and can only be done by specialists in the field.  
The operation took six hours and Shaurya stayed in hospital for a week to recover.

He will be given physiotherapy to help him learn how to use his hand again.
