Abstract :
Reconstructive hand surgeries are vital in restoring functionality and appearance in leprosy patients who suffer from nerve damage-induced deformities such as claw hand. These procedures not only improve manual dexterity but also reduce stigma and dependency. This case series describes five cases of leprosy patients undergoing various hand reconstructive procedures under different anaesthetic techniques. We discuss preoperative challenges, intraoperative considerations, and postoperative care in the context of current literature.
