    Summary

    Developing a replantation program requires microsurgical training and clinical expertise. This study shows a high success rate for limb replantation, with most failures occurring in multiple digit injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Replantation programs are crucial for restoring function after severe limb injuries.
    • Establishing such programs demands comprehensive training and interdisciplinary collaboration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the success rate of a newly developed replantation program.
    • To identify factors influencing replantation outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a structured replantation program including laboratory microsurgical training and clinical supervision.
    • Retrospective analysis of 26 replantation or revascularization cases (14 incomplete, 12 complete).

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-three out of twenty-six (88.5%) replantation or revascularization procedures were successful.
    • Three failures (1 complete, 2 incomplete) occurred, all involving digits within multiple digit injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • A well-structured replantation program can achieve high success rates.
    • Multiple digit injuries present a higher risk of failure in replantation procedures.
