title: [Indications for replantation in psychiatric patients exemplified by hand replantation in a patient with schizophrenia].
abstract: After evaluating all criteria known about indications for replanting severed extremities, we found that mental retardation (with the exception of some conceivable isolated cases) and mental illness, i.e. psychosis, can no longer be considered absolute contraindications for replantation measures, due to the adequate therapeutic possibilities that are currently available.
