YANGON, April 19 (Xinhua) -- A man's hand, which was cut off at the wrist by a sword attack, has been successfully re-attached in Nay Pyi Taw Hospital, the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported Wednesday.
The successful re-attachment surgery was the first in the hospital, performed by a team of local medical experts.
