Multidisciplinary teams at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) have successfully performed two pioneering nerve reconstruction surgeries on a four-year-old boy and a 43-year-old man who lost their hand and arm, respectively.
The procedures, conducted on October 29 and 30, 2026, mark a significant advancement in microsurgery and reconstructive care in Kenya.
“Kenyatta National Hospital has once again made global medical history, performing two pioneering nerve-reconstruction surgeries: one on the world’s youngest known recipient of Targeted Sensory Reinnervation (TSR) and another on the third patient globally to undergo its transhumeral variant”, KNH said.
