Inside the Medical Frigate, Luke has his injuries - an early script indicating a new replacement left arm comprising metal struts and electronic components - looked over by a Medical Droid, where once again, Princess Leia (back to wearing her original Star Wars hairstyle) is by his side through this difficult and painful time.
As seen in this production painting by Ralph McQuarrie, Luke was to have originally received his lightsaber injury from Vader to his left side, especially as Mark Hamill himself is left-handed - indeed, an unfinished hand cast was done of Luke's left hand at Elstree by Stuart Freeborn and his team. (Freeborn eventually auctioned it off to a private collector.) This idea was ultimately changed by Summer 1979 filming - instead, Luke lost his right hand, and with a new casting of Hamill's right hand achieved.
