Abstract:
Revascularization and replantation of the amputated part is absolutely recommended for restoration of function, form, and future growth. From the beginning, microsurgery has been employed to treat children and infants, but as a group pediatric patients have not received much attention. This article discusses several areas in which reconstructive microsurgery plays a prominent role in the pediatric patient.
