Digital replantation using microsurgery has progressed remarkably since the first thumb replantation report by Komatsu and Tamai in 1968.1 It is now a common hand surgery procedure, and even fingertips are replanted with high success rates between 70 and 90%.2–7 A systematic review in 2011 found good outcomes in terms of both the success rate and postoperative function.8 In many reports, the su...

Circumcision is the most common surgical procedure in males in the United States, and minor complications are not uncommon. Major complications like partial penile amputations have been reported with successful replantation. Complete penile amputations in adult males have been described, and successful replantation has been reported with increasing success. We report a case of complete penile a...

this case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. in all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement is used for root-end filling. this case series demonstrates twenty cases of ir and extraoral root-end resection and filling with cem cement. all the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...

Intentional replantation can be used for root canal re-treatment when other methods are deemed unsuitable. This procedure is based on the approach used to obtain good clinical outcomes for replantation of an avulsed tooth. The key to a successful procedure is atraumatic extraction and replacement in the socket without damage to the periodontal ligament. This case series presents the long-term o...

Tooth avulsion is referred as complete displacement of tooth from the alveolar socket. It may involve both primary and permanent tooth as well. The management and outcome of such avulsion depends on speedy location of avulsed tooth and immediate replantation within the socket as the chances of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells survival decreases with increase in extra-oral dry time. The delayed ...

Our subject is a 36-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with bilateral lower extremity amputation at the level of the distal third of the tibia after a car accident. Surgery was planned for below-knee amputation of the right lower extremity and replantation of the left foot. The arteries dissected from the iatrogenically amputated segment were used as grafts to repair vascula...

AIM To report the intentional replantation of a maxillary central incisor with a crown-root fracture. SUMMARY An 11-year-old girl was referred to a paediatric clinic with an extensive crown-root fracture of the maxillary right central incisor (tooth 11) with pulp exposure. Radiographs revealed that tooth 11 had a periapical radiolucent lesion, which suggested pulpal necrosis. The treatment op...

Treatment of patients with traumatic macroamputations is challenging. The aim of this study is to analyze the significance of this type of injury in TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) and to depict the rate of formal surgical ablation of the traumatically induced amputation, epidemiologic data, as well as outcome in severely injured patients with amputations. We acquired data from the TR-DGU of the G...

OBJECTIVES Retrospective evaluation of cases of limb replantation after avulsion injuries. Evaluation of the techniques and tactics used, that contributed to success and good functional results. METHODS Forty-three patients' records were assessed. All the cases had been submitted to limb replantation after avulsion injuries. RESULTS The majority of the cases were young men. The most common ...

Traumatic finger amputations are common, causing significant functional and cosmetic deficits. Microsurgical replantation techniques are the mainstay of treatment for most such injuries although they require adequate conservation of the amputated segment for a successful result. In distal finger amputations, replantation is the procedure of choice, as long as the amputated fragment is viable. I...
