Major Limb Replantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 32-year-old right-hand-dominant man presented with a traumatic guillotine-type amputation of the left forearm at the junction of the musculotendinous transition. The amputated part was well preserved, with a minimal zone of injury. The patient sustained no other injuries and he was cleared for surgery by the trauma service. He was taken to the operating room for replantation of the amputated part.

Perioperative evaluation and outcomes of major limb replantations with ischemia periods of more than 6 hours.
Early revascularization is cardinal for successful replantation of proximal limb amputations. Prolonged ischemia time potentially leads to reperfusion syndrome and morbidity. The dilemma persists regarding safe duration of cold ischemia time for replantation. The study was conducted to evaluate retrospectively the outcomes of major replantation in terms of limb survival, reperfusion events, mor...
