What is a reimplantation procedure?
A procedure to surgically reattach an amputated body part, such as a finger, hand, arm, or toe to the body is called a reimplantation procedure. It involves restoring blood flow and function to the amputated part by reconnecting severed bones, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels.

How long does the procedure typically take and what is the recovery time?
The duration of the surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure which depends on the part of the body which is to be reimplanted and the level of amputation.

Typically, it can take anywhere between 6 to 12 hours.

Recovery generally takes several months and involves intense physiotherapy in order to regain maximum function.

How should one preserve the organ in case of a traumatic amputation before approaching a facility?
  • Preservation of an amputated part is one of the most important steps before the procedure .
  • The part should be gently rinsed with sterile saline and wrapped in a sterile gauze .
  • It should be placed in a sealed plastic bag which should then be placed in an ice box .
  • The patient and the preserved part should immediately be transported to a facility equipped for microsurgery. If possible, the facility should be informed in advance about the transfer .
