Problems and complications encountered in replantation surgery.
The surgical techniques involved in a discipline as comparatively new and complex as replantation might be expected to result in a significant rate of complications. However, serious complications related to replantation surgery remain relatively infrequent. Meticulous attention to detail helps to avoid predicaments, minimizes potential problems, and allows the surgeon to correct the occasional complication that arises.
