title: [Management of vessel defect in digit replantation].
abstract: Many severed digits are complicated with vessel defects and make replantation more difficult. Based on experimental study, we have repaired vessel defect in 207 cases (261 digits) by 12 methods. 240 digits (92%) survived. Experimental and clinical procedure, treatment of choice and related problems are described.
