For the first time on the Sunshine Coast, plastic surgeon Dr Chandan Jadhav recently performed a total thumb transfer for a patient who had lost their thumb in a workplace incident.
"This complex procedure involved transferring the patient’s second toe to reconstruct a functional thumb," he said. "It was the first surgery of its kind performed on the Sunshine Coast, and it was made possible through the support and collaboration of Ramsay Health Care."
Dr Jadhav is new to our team here at Caboolture Private Hospital, and says he chose to specialise in plastic surgery because "it is a problem-solving specialty that addresses a diverse range of conditions and patient needs."
"I find great fulfilment in restoring both form and function for my patients, knowing that this can have a meaningful and positive impact on their quality of life."
