“We have performed the World’s First Transhumeral Targeted Sensory Reinnervation (TSR) surgery on Moses Mwendwa, 22, restoring sensation in his missing left hand! This groundbreaking 7-hour procedure reroutes nerves to create a “sensory map,” enabling touch perception and better prosthetic control.
Moses lost his arm due to compartment syndrome after a fall on the stairs in January but regained hope at KNH’s pioneering TSR Camp — Africa’s first. Led by Prof. Nang’ole & Dr. Wabwire the team proved Kenya’s surgical excellence.” said KNH
