A team of doctors at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) has been receiving praise for successfully reattaching a policeman’s severed right hand after an eight-hour emergency surgery. The complex procedure was led by Dr Allan Ravi Rajagopal and Dr Aziz Sabbir Husain, along with the hospital’s upper limb and microsurgery team.
The injured policeman, 26-year-old Lance Corporal Thierry Rodger anak Fendy, serves at the Gombak district police headquarters. He was attacked with a parang in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, on 12th November 2026, leaving his right hand severed at the wrist. Following the attack, he was rushed for emergency medical treatment.
The surgical team worked for 8 hours to reattach his hand, using a surgical microscope to carry out the highly precise procedure. The hospital’s neurosurgery team was also involved in treating the policeman’s head injuries.
According to the New Straits Times, which cited an unmanned source, the emergency operation was completed at 8:40AM on 13th November 2026.
