Abstract
We reported on three cases of replantation of the amputated fingers, to which we applied useful methods to anastomose in good condition, out of 11 cases which we experienced.
In the first case of the avulsed thumb, we combined the neurovascular island pedicle method.
In the second case, in which postoperative arterial thrombus occured, only a vascular pedicle was transferred and reanastomosed.
In the third case, massive vascular defect was complicated, and Y-shaped vein grafts were applied to anastomose two proximal arteries to four peripheral arteries.
We emphasized that it was important to apply other useful operative techniques to replantation of the amputated fingers.
