Book your consultation
Hand replantation is a highly specialized surgical procedure aimed at reattaching a severed hand or fingers to restore function and appearance. This procedure is commonly performed on patients who have suffered traumatic amputations due to accidents, violent injuries, or severe burns. The goal is to reconnect the bones, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and tendons, allowing the hand to regain some of its original function.
Unlike prosthetics, hand replantation offers a more natural look and the possibility of recovering sensory and motor functions. Successful replantation can dramatically improve the patient’s ability to perform essential daily activities like eating, typing, and holding objects.
Hand replantation can be considered for individuals who have lost a hand or fingers due to various causes, including:
Hand replantation is a delicate, multi-stage process that requires expertise and precision. It involves a thorough pre-surgical evaluation to ensure the patient is suitable for the procedure, the complex surgical procedure itself, and extended post-operative care for optimal recovery. The ultimate goal is to restore as much functionality and sensation as possible to the reattached hand.
Before proceeding with hand replantation surgery, a comprehensive evaluation is performed to determine the patient’s suitability for the procedure.
The length of the surgery depends on the complexity of the injury, but hand replantation can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. More complex cases involving multiple structures, like bone, nerves, blood vessels, and tendons, may take longer.
