When he met with a gruesome accident in December last year, 26-year-old Suraj Munjagade had lost movement waist downwards after his pelvis bone was crushed after coming under the rear wheels of a truck. After having multiple reconstructive surgeries, which also included anoplasty — reparative surgery of the anus — and skin grafting, Suraj is now walking, thanks to the doctors at Lifepoint hospital.u00a0

“I was returning from my brother’s birthday party when I met with an accident, and all I remember is that some one took me to the hospital. I heard doctors saying that my body below the waist is damaged. I can now start working on the new life given back to me by the doctors,” said Suraj, who was discharged from the hospital yesterday after undergoing the crucial anoplasty surgery. (He had earlier spend two months at the hospital after the accident and was discharged in February, but had to return for the anoplasty, which was carried out 10 days ago)u00a0
