Revascularization And Replantation Surgery

Revascularization and major reimplantation surgery are critical procedures in the management of severe limb injuries.

Revascularization involves restoring blood flow to the affected limb, typically following major trauma. This procedure is essential for salvaging the limb by preventing tissue death. In such situations “Time is Tissue”. Success of the procedure depends on the timing of presentation following injury. Patient presenting with in 6 hours of injury (Golden period), usually have a high success rate of limb/digit salvage. Techniques used in revascularization include vascular reconstruction with vein graft or acute thrombectomy using endovascular procedures, each tailored to the specific needs of the patient to ensure optimal blood circulation.

Reimplantation surgery involves reattaching a completely severed limb or digit. This complex procedure requires meticulous microsurgical techniques to reconnect blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and bones. Success in reimplantation is dependent on prompt surgical intervention and the surgeon's expertise in microsurgery. The primary goal is to restore function and sensation, allowing the patient to regain as much use of the limb as possible.
