Abstract: | Replantation of amputated body parts is a highly specialised, cost-intensive procedure and can offer significantly increased quality of life in selected cases. To optimise chances of successful replantation, appropriate preparation and transfer to the replantation centre is critical. In the absence of custom made devices for storage of the amputated part, pre-hospital preparation is often determined by the referring practitioner, prior to contact with the referring department. This study has re-explored the perceptions of referring practitioners regarding correct pre-operative storage and transfer of amputated tissue to the Welsh Centre for Plastic Surgery, following an earlier national audit (2008). |
