Limb Replantation
Limb replantation surgery reattaches a body part that has been completely cut from the body.
Using tiny tools and magnification, this complex surgery (also known as microsurgery) aims to restore as much function as possible to the severed limb.
Our Capabilities
As the only Level I trauma center in the region, our experts collaborate with other surgical specialists and therapists to restore strength and movement and reduce pain following this procedure.

Answers to Your Limb Replantation Questions
Limb replantation surgery is for any patient that has a severed limb and requires bone, nerve, tendon and/or blood vessel repair or reconstruction.
Surgeries are usually long and complicated, and some patients may need multiple surgeries to address their injury.
Following surgery, most patients spend three to seven days in the intensive care unit and six to 12 months in physical therapy.
Some patients also experience chronic pain after surgery, but our physicians work closely with physical medicine, rehabilitation and pain management experts to help control pain and discomfort.
Our team approach means that our nerve surgery subspecialists work with experts from plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, hand surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, occupational therapy, physical therapy and anesthesia/pain management to treat patients needing limb replantation.
In addition, our physicians are fellowship-trained and subspecialize in restoring hand, wrist and elbow function using both nonsurgical and highly advanced surgical techniques.
We also have the ability to perform these procedures any time, day or night, thanks to our round-the-clock microsurgical coverage in our operating rooms.
