    Interpositional microvascular vein grafting enhances replantation surgery by reducing anastomosis tension and bridging vascular defects. This technique is crucial for salvaging severe crushing and avulsion amputations in the hand.

    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Replantation surgery aims to restore function after limb amputation.
    • Challenges include tension at vascular anastomoses and bridging defects.
    • Severe crushing and avulsion injuries often preclude successful replantation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the technique of interpositional microvascular vein grafting.
    • To detail its development in a research and training laboratory.
    • To report clinical experience and outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specific interpositional vein grafting technique.
    • Application of the technique in replantation surgeries.
    • Detailed description of surgical procedures and materials used.

    Main Results:

    • Vein grafting effectively eliminated tension at vascular anastomoses.
    • The technique successfully bridged vascular defects in complex injuries.
    • Salvage of severe crushing and avulsion amputations was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Interpositional microvascular vein grafting is a valuable technique in replantation.
    • It significantly improves outcomes for severe hand amputations.
    • This method expands the possibilities for limb salvage surgery.
