Clean Finger Amputation

Last entry in today’s “catch up” set of posts…

Usually when I see amateur or underground digit amputations, they’re just chisel jobs. Now, a chisel job can heal pretty nicely and without complications, but the risks are higher and you often won’t get an ideal end to the reshaped finger… so it was a pleasant surprise to get this very cleanly sutured stumping:

That’s by a fairly well known practitioner that works out of South America and Europe. I’m not going to post the name here but if you’re looking for this procedure, drop me a line and I’ll put you in touch.

    Some people have the need to have a body part amputated, look at the BME encyclopedia, it tells you everything that you could ever wish to know.

    being a guitar player… I just need all my digits and can’t imagine why you would aputate anything…. but…. I believe you should be free to….. I had a funky dream I ate my right hand on night…. I was cutting off the flesh… and decided I wasn’t that hungry anymore…. and then freaked out because I had amputated my RIGHT hand…. and I’m right handed…. I thought… “shit”….. then woke up… and made sure I still had my hand….

    since shannon, may he rest in peace, can´t put up a connection anymore – would there be anyone else who could help with a properly stitched up ring or pinky finger mod?

    thanks in advance…

    Even tough this post is already ten years old, is there any way to get in touch with the “surgeon”?

    I have already ordered scalpels a new clean chisel, bandages and so on but of cause I prefer a “professiolan” before doing it by myself.

    So this is kind of the last best hope finding someone who can help me realize my wishes.
