OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of replantation in the treatment of nasal amputations. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING A university medical center. RESULTS In no case did the replant survive completely, and in all cases revision surgery was required. However, in all cases, the resulting deformity was less than the original defect. In our pediatric patients, reconstruction...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by tetanus toxin produced by Clostridium tetani and induces severe neurological manifestations. We treated a patient who developed tetanus during hospitalization for replantation of an amputated finger. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case report of such an entity. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old Japa...

tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket. the treatment of choice is immediate replantation or if that is not possible, placement of the tooth in an appropriate storage media. this report presents replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor after 12 hours of storage in milk. the tooth was replanted and splinted. one week later, it w...

Aim- Background-Trauma to the oral region occurs frequently and comprise 5% of all injuries. Among facial injuries, dental injuries are most common which avulsions occur in 1–16% cases. Avulsion is defined as total displacement tooth out its socket. An avulsed can usually be retained by replantation; however, prognosis depends on extraoralduration, condition tooth, patient’s age root develo...

Self-castration and penile amputation are rare life-threatening types of genital self-mutilation. The microsurgical technique replantation is the gold standard; however, there conflicting reports successful macrosurgical replantations. Being rare, this condition may even be mistaken as criminal mutilation. surgical management evolves over a few case series; therefore, it prudent to publish such...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histologic response after replantation of mature, developed teeth without endodontic treatment in monkeys. To serve as experimental controls, the other replanted teeth received endodontic treatment. No significant differences were noted in the rate and quality of periodontal tissues healing between the endodonticall and the nonendodontically treafed...

Amputation by crush injuries generally represents a contraindication for replantation, and especially when the lesion is caused by the summation of multiple concomitant traumatic mechanisms. We present the case of a 22 year- old female who arrived in our service with a crush/torsion amputation of all long fingers at the metacarpo-phalangeal level of the right hand. After the unsuccessful attemp...
