    Continuous plexus anesthesia improves healing for replanted or transferred digits. This technique enhances circulation, provides pain relief, and aids immobilization, leading to better patient outcomes in reconstructive surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Vascular surgery

    Background:

    • Digit replantation and transfer are complex procedures requiring optimal conditions for healing.
    • Postoperative management is crucial for success, focusing on circulation, pain control, and immobilization.

    Observation:

    • Five cases involving finger replantation and digit transfers were analyzed.
    • An axillary plexus catheter was used for continuous postoperative sympathetic blockade and anesthesia.

    Findings:

    • Plexus anesthesia induced spasmolysis, improved circulation, and increased acral systolic blood pressure.
    • Effective analgesia and muscle relaxation were achieved, aiding extremity immobilization.

    Implications:
