The Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mohandai Oswal Hospital, Ludhiana, has achieved a rare medical milestone by successfully performing a total scalp reimplantation.

Scalp avulsion—often caused by road accidents or machinery—is among the most traumatic injuries, exposing the skull and leading to severe blood loss.

The complex procedure was carried out through seamless teamwork between the Plastic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Anaesthesia, Emergency and ICU departments. Total scalp reimplantation is considered one of the most challenging operations in reconstructive surgery, requiring reconnection of multiple arteries and veins—many less than 1 mm in diameter—using advanced super-microsurgical instruments and an operating microscope.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
