Quality of Functional Return in Limbs and Tissues Replanted and Transplanted by Microsurgical Techniques.

Abstract

This report covers the experimental background, instrumentation and equipment necessary toperform a successful microneurovascular replantation or transplantation of composite tissue. Various experimental animal models used to evaluate microsuture materials, technique, and the effect of vasoplegic drugs are discussed. The experimental uses and clinical applications of autogeneous microvascular grafting, micronerve grafting, and microvascular anastomotic cuffing are discussed. Clinical applications and functional results of microneurovascular transplants of neurovascular island flaps, muscles, digits and toes are included.
