| Abstract [eng] |
We overview a 25-year (1983–2007) experience in replantations. The retrospective study included patients according to following criteria: completely or partially amputated upper limb segment, injured skeleton and circulation (vitality), performed replantation or revascularization. 1573 patients’ histories were included. 1942 upper limb segments were replanted for 1973 patients. We analyzed the cause and type of amputation, tools of injury, patients’ social situation and dynamics of change. We evaluated the successful rate of replantation in different types of amputation. We found differences in survival due to the patient’s gender. We analyzed the dynamics of replantations in children and adolescents separately. Also, we analyzed the dynamics of different types of anesthesia for replantations. We discussed the reasons for the reduced number of replantations. |
