i have no idea, i have seen pics like this before, it seems almost like a forms of skin grafting, or some type of healing method so the body is like healing it on its own ? i onno lol

I've seen that before with snake bite victims. I saw a dude that got bit by a Fer De Lance & they put his thumb into his foreskin & sewed it so the skin would grow back. It's basically a simple way to do a skin graft.

Sounds gross

Dunno about skin grafts I think its a way to make sure the flesh stays alive on his digits until they can perform a skin graft.

Sometimes when a part of the body suffers extreme trauma (usuall an extremity with relatively poor blood supply) they sew it into a part of your body with good blood supply, helps it heal quicker and less chance of further infection / necrosis etc
They often do it if a part of your body has been ripped off....eg a hand, they sew it to the blood vessels in your torso or similar with good blood supply, and once the severed part (and you if you have been in major accident) are stable and healthy they re-attach to where it is supposed to be, then when that has attached and settled down, they cut away from where it was attached to your body and you have your hand back (or whatever part)

That might be a bit waffly, but you get the idea.

I had the same operation with my finger. It's called a Thermo Flap.

Basically when a digit suffers severe trauma which leaves little flesh left, you can stitch it inside another part of the body and it will reproduce the flesh.

Pretty damn good if you ask me.

I had NO Fucking Idea!

Cool Beans if it works.... I guess
