All 10 severed fingers of a Chinese factory worker were stitched back on by surgeons after they were all sliced off in a horrific industrial accident.
After 13 hours on the operating table all of the paper factory worker's digits have resumed full function and the miraculous surgery has been hailed a success.
Doctors at 3rd People's Hospital in the southern Chinese province of Huaihua performed the meticulous surgery on January 5 after all of her fingers were severed during a work accident on December 28.
She was sent into the operation room at 1pm and the surgery wasn't finished until the next day at 2am.
"Each 0.2mm vessel needs 6 to 8 stitches under microscopes," said the chief surgeon.
