title: [Updated status of replantation services in Germany, Austria and Switzerland].
abstract: The revised survey involves the years 1991 and 1992 and includes 41 university and major civil hospitals. As in the years 1989 and 1990, replantation activity in the year 1991 still declined, whereas in 1992 we registered a sharp increase in replantations, especially in Germany. In numbers, 856 were reported for 1991 (72 macro- and 784 microreplantations), and 1091 in 1992 (85 macro- and 1006 microreplantations). A considerable number of amputation cases (617) were rejected mainly due to lack of operative manpower capacity.
