At the same time, the treatments of tendon, vessel and nerve cuts and ruptures that may occur in the foot are also in the field of hand surgery.

With this technique, vessels and nerves smaller than 1 mm in diameter can be operated using needles and threads that are difficult to see.

In this way, organs such as fingers, hands, arms and feet can be replaced, and by repairing very thin nerves, the replaced organ can feel and move again.

replantation

It is the process of suturing the organs such as severed fingers, hands and feet to the hospital in appropriate conditions and in a well-preserved condition, and trying to make them functional.

Microsurgical techniques and operating microscopes are used in this procedure. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as the patient's age, comorbidities, smoking and the severity of the injury.

Transporting the Severed Limb

The amputated limb should be transported in a refrigerated and clean environment, but should not include cold direct ice contact. The severed limb should be wrapped in a clean cloth or gauze and then placed in a bag. Then the bag should be left in a cold environment. The limb should never come into direct contact with the ice. The decision of whether the tissues can be sutured or not should be left to the microsurgery team and all recovered tissue fragments should be brought to the hospital.
