It would hurt a lot and I'm sure he would rather keep his hand because he could still use it a little.
The book didn't mention that possibility. Perhaps some poison or other effect had already gotten to the remainder of his body. Remember we are talking about magic here, so perhaps the usual rules don't apply 100%. But perhaps the author simply didn't think of that possibility.

Was the resurrection stone apart of the ring that Dumbledore wore and was this the Gaunt ring and if so why did he put the stone in the Snitch?
The resurrection stone was hidden inside Marvolo Gaunt's ring which, without knowing about the stone, Voldemort turned into a Horcrux. Dumbledore put the ring on his finger, desperate to use the stone, and didn't consider that the Horcrux would curse him. Had he not gotten to Severus Snape in time he would have died. Snape managed to trap the curse in his hand but he would only survive another year. This allowed Dumbledore time to make plans for what would happen after his death. He arranged for Severus to kill him and sorted out his will leaving Harry, Ron and Hermione the things they would need to complete their mission. Dumbledore already knew that Harry was a Horcrux and would have to die to defeat Voldemort. So, he hid the ressurection stone inside the first snitch he ever caught and charmed it so that it would open when Harry said he was going to die, allowing him time with his parents, Sirius and (although Dumbledore wouldn't have known) Remus.
