Groundbreaking Course on Limb Replantation!

FESSH is excited to introduce the Practical Course on Upper Limb Trauma and Replantation – from Bone to Skin!

Aim of the Course

Introduce replantations in hand surgery and more in general hand trauma surgery: learn the reimplantation technique on models and cadaveric specimens.
The initial first day (vessels, nerve, tendon, bone) are a preparation for the final two days where forearm/wrist, long fingers and thumb reimplantation will be performed under the supervision of experienced European surgeons.
Describe and teach basic techniques for each tissue (bone, vessels, nerves, tendons, muscles, skin)
Describe and teach surgical techniques for different lesion levels.
Describes the early and late complications of both microsurgery and reimplants in general

Participants are required to have a diploma or a certificate of a basic microsurgical course.
