What is Reimplantation?
Reimplantation is a surgical procedure to reattach a completely severed body part — such as a finger, hand, arm, or ear — and restore as much function, sensation, and appearance as possible. It is a complex microsurgical operation that must be performed quickly, typically after traumatic amputation.
What causes it:
- Accidental trauma: Sharp or crush injuries from machinery, tools, or accidents
- Industrial or workplace accidents: Common in jobs involving heavy equipment
- Vehicular accidents: High-speed crashes causing limb or digit detachment
- Domestic injuries: Such as kitchen or gardening tool mishaps
- Violence or assault: Rare cases involving sharp force trauma
Symptoms:
- Complete detachment of a finger, limb, or other part
- Excessive bleeding or exposed bone/tissue
- Severe pain at the site of injury
- Loss of function or sensation in the affected area
- Cold, pale, or bluish color indicating reduced blood supply
Complete Process
Assessment & Stabilization
We begin by evaluating the amputated part and the injury site. The patient is stabilized, and the amputated part is preserved properly in cool, sterile conditions until surgery.
Microsurgical Preparation
The amputated part and recipient site are cleaned, debrided, and prepared. Our surgeons use high-powered microscopes and micro-instruments to align the bones, tendons, nerves, and vessels.
Reconnection & Repair
Bone is fixed using plates or wires. Blood vessels (arteries/veins) are carefully reconnected to restore circulation. Nerves and tendons are then reattached to restore movement and sensation.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Post-surgery, the patient is monitored in the ICU or a high-dependency unit. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are gradually introduced to maximize function, flexibility, and strength.

Wrap it in clean, moist gauze, place it in a plastic bag, and keep that bag in a container with ice. Avoid direct contact with water or ice.
Generally, healthy individuals with clean-cut injuries, minimal contamination, and a properly preserved amputated part are considered good candidates.
Fingers, thumbs, hands, arms, ears, scalp, and sometimes toes can be reimplanted, depending on the extent of damage and time since the injury.
Yes, including infection, poor blood supply, tissue loss, and limited functional recovery. Surgeons assess all risks before proceeding.
