Abstract
After some short remarks about the organization of microsurgery in Australia, the microsurgical technique of retransplantation of dissected extremities and the conservation methods are described in detail. In 175 out of 208 cases, retransplantation of extremities was successful, i.e. certain functions were reestablished. Results were better in children than in adults. The most important factors in successful treatment are the conservation methods, skilled technique, and postoperative care, which may last up to 1 year. One retransplantaion center with 4 experienced surgeons per 5,000,000 population seems to be mandatory.
