title: [Restoration of function by microsurgical reconstruction after sarcoma excision in the upper limb].
abstract: The treatment of soft tissue sarcomas includes different modalities, but the complete excision of the tumor is the most important one. It is often difficult to resect the tumor completely and simultaneously restore a good function of the upper limb. Therefore a microsurgical reconstruction is often necessary as demonstrated here.
