Replantation of digits. 1991

R M Higgins

Replantation surgery has come of age in the past 20 years. Sophisticated microsurgical techniques, improved preservation methods, and increased understanding of ischemia time have all contributed to the growth of digital replantation as a viable surgical process. The complexity of the surgeries warrants a review of nursing management, pharmacologic modalities, and monitoring alternatives. This article explores rehabilitative therapies in relation to successful patient outcomes.
