Abstract
Although expierence in replantation surgery increased during the past 30 years, there are still problems remaining. Refinement of microsurgical operations and improvement in rehabilitation technique have lead to superior functional results. Beside clear indications as thumb loss or replantation in children there are only few absolute contraindications. A retrospective analysis of more than 300 replantation showed that there are still problems concerning exhaustive supply of replantation centres. Because time is one of the many critical components of succesful preplantation improvements are necessary in extra- and intrahospital organization of replantation surgery.
