The ability to microsurgically re-attach a body part that has been amputated represents one of the pinnacles of
reconstructive surgery. The replantation of amputated body part is more successful than limb reconstruction with
other methods. However, replantation of extremities involves more than microsurgery, as repair of bony and
tendon injury must be undertaken as well. Suitable indication of replantation must be determined to accompany
competent microsurgical technique to reach successful surgery result. At this article, we discussed our limb
replantation cases which were performed 15 on patients who applied our emergency service.
