Vascular Injuries (Replantation)
Vascular injuries involving the arteries, veins, and surrounding tissues of the limbs can be life-altering and often require urgent surgical intervention. At our center, we specialize in the microsurgical management of vascular trauma and replantation of amputated parts, including fingers, hands, and limbs — aiming to save and restore both life and function.
What Are Vascular Injuries?
Vascular injuries can occur due to:
- Road traffic accidents
- Industrial machinery or workplace injuries
- Sharp object trauma (glass, knives, tools)
- Crush injuries or severe burns
- Gunshot or blast trauma
These injuries can lead to massive blood loss, loss of limb viability, and long-term disability if not treated promptly.
Replantation Surgery
Replantation is the surgical reattachment of a completely or partially amputated body part. Using advanced microsurgical techniques, we meticulously reconnect:
- Arteries and veins
- Nerves
- Tendons and muscles
- Bones and joints (if required)
Our goal is not just survival of the part, but restoration of sensation, mobility, and function over time.
Common Replantation Sites:
- Fingers and thumbs
- Hand or wrist
- Forearm
- Scalp
- Ear or nose (in specific cases)
