Ayudiah Dies Following Finger Surgery in Semarang

The Quarterfinal Match and Finger Dislocation at Porprov Jateng

The sequence of events began on Monday, October 26, 2026, at the University of Muhammadiyah Semarang (Unimus) gymnasium. Competing in the women’s class A tanding category, Ayudiah faced an opponent from Batang Regency when a kick struck her left hand.

Muhammad Zainudin, Vice Chairman of the Porprov XVII Central Java Pencak Silat Committee, told Tirto.id that the impact split the skin on her middle finger, causing a small amount of bleeding. Match officials immediately stopped the bout. Nurfaqih, the coordinator of the Semarang City Porprov pencak silat coaching team, stated to Kompas.com that x-rays revealed no fracture, only a dislocation where the finger bones shifted out of place.

Surgery at RS Primaya and Unexpected Death

Following the injury, medical personnel transferred Ayudiah to RS Primaya Semarang. Dr. Aditya Nugraha, Director of RS Primaya Semarang, confirmed to detikNews that the patient arrived on October 26 and underwent evaluation by an orthopedic specialist. Surgeons performed the operation on Tuesday, October 27, at approximately 18:00 WIB.

Coaches and family members reported that the procedure appeared entirely routine. Suyoto, a Semarang pencak silat coach, told CNN Indonesia that he spoke with Ayudiah at the hospital after she regained consciousness from anesthesia, during which she pointed to her injured finger and joked about returning to competition if she recovered quickly. Her father also communicated with team staff around 19:30 WIB on Tuesday to confirm the operation had concluded without complications, according to detikNews. However, hospital staff checking on her at 03:00 WIB on Wednesday found her breathing while asleep, and by 05:30 WIB, nurses attempting to wake her detected no vital signs, as detailed by detikNews.

Investigation and Medical Evaluation by KONI and RS Primaya

Sujarwanto Dwiatmoko, Chairman of the National Sports Committee of Indonesia (KONI) Central Java, stated to Kumparan.com that the organization will investigate the incident, noting that referees, technical delegates, and medical staff followed all established technical handbooks and standard operating procedures during the match and subsequent hospital referral.

RS Primaya management stated that staff performed all pre-operative examinations, surgical interventions, and post-operative care in accordance with medical protocols. Dr. Aditya Nugraha told detikNews that the hospital cannot yet confirm an exact cause of death because multiple predictable and unpredictable factors may be involved. Tirto.id reported that hospital administration suggested potential blood thickness or other unconfirmed physiological factors might be examined as the review continues.
