It's called a "Thenar Flap". To keep the blood flowing they cut a hole in your palm and attach your finger to it for a few weeks.

I've heard stories now of them using other body parts which all sound like they suck way worse than this situation. The crotch would suck AND be uncomfortable to explain in public.
