There are multiple surgical techniques to stabilize the bone in digital replantation. Various criteria need to be considered when choosing appropriate bony fixation including operative time, ease of exposure, stability, limitation of the area of dissection, and reproducibility. We describe our technique using internal fixation with a low-profile plate on the palmar aspect of the proximal or mid...

Introduction. Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the most frustrating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with VRF is poor therefore tooth extraction and root amputation are usually the only treatment options. However, bonding of the fracture line with adhesive resin cement during the intentional replantation procedure was recently suggested as an alternative to...

The effect of Super-EBA cement as a root-end filling placed in teeth before replantation was examined in eight molar roots in monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared, and fillings of Super-EBA placed before replantation. After 8 wk, the jaws were removed and prepared for histological examination. The tissue respo...

Peritoneal dialysis catheter ruptures have been managed by immediate removal and subsequent reinsertion of the catheter which inevitably entails interruption in peritoneal dialysis and a need for vascular access. A 36-year-old man on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis complaining of dialysate leakage was found to have a small rupture near the outer cuff of the peritoneal dialysis cathete...

We examined whether replantation of benthic microalgae (BMA) can remediate shallow organically enriched sediment. Nitzschia sp., the dominant species in the tested area (Hiroshima Bay, Japan), was isolated and mass cultured, then replanted in the same area. Changes in the condition of the sediment were monitored for five months. During the study period, we observed an increase in redox potentia...

Two cases of lower limb lengthening after replantation are presented. Both patients had detachment at the level low third crus. The were admitted to hospital 17 and 12 hours injury. Detached segments transported in two polyethylene bags with ice. At arteria tibialis posterior accompanying veins anastomosed. One 1.5 years cruses lengthened using external fixation device. crus was equal 13 11 cm,...

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 ...

Microsurgery is a general term for surgery requiring an operating microscope. Microscope is a word coming from two ancient Greek words, μι rός meaning “small”, and s οπέω meaning “to see”. It is an instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. The first microscope was claimed to be invented in 1590 by Zacharias Janssen, a spectacle-maker, who tried to find a way to make m...
