A Delhi hospital has successfully reconstructed the skull of a 27‑year‑old accident victim using bone grafts taken from the patient himself.
A 27‑year‑old man who suffered a severe head injury in an accident was taken to a Delhi hospital for emergency surgery. The medical team performed a complex cranial reconstruction, using bone grafts harvested from the patient’s own body to rebuild the damaged skull. The procedure, carried out by a specialist neurosurgeon, aimed to restore structural integrity and protect the brain. Post‑operative imaging confirmed a successful graft integration and the patient is now in recovery. The case highlights the hospital’s advanced surgical capabilities in trauma care.
