A CASE REPORT: METHODS TO ALLEVIATE REPERFUSION SYNDROME IN AMPUTATED ARM REPLANTATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Limb replantation has been performed for decades and is being clinically applied more prevalently. Reperfusion syndrome crucially affects the outcome of the replantation and sometimes poses a life-threatening risk to patients, especially in cases with major surgeries like arm amputations. The following report presents methods to mitigate the syndrome in amputated arm replantation.
