## Abstract A challenge to the microsurgeon is perfecting the technique of replantation of small pieces of facial tissue, mainly because of the extremely small size of the arteries as well as a lack of suitable veins for drainage. In the past 4 years, we have had seven cases of facial amputations,

Abstract
A case of successful microvascular replantation of a traumatically amputated ear is presented. The postoperative course was complicated by venous thrombosis requiring the use of medicinal leeches and systemic heparinization for salvage. This is the tenth successful microvascular ear replantation reported in the literature. Β© 1993 WileyβLiss Inc.

## Abstract Total scalp avulsion is an unusual injury. To obtain good functional and cosmetic results, immediate revascularization using microsurgical techniques and replacement of the scalp in the correct anatomical position is the procedure of choice. This article describes a case report of succe
## Abstract Replantation of the partial amputated finger or the composite tissue in finger would achieve better functional and esthetical results than any reconstructive procedure. In this article, we report the results of microsurgical partial finger or composite tissue replantation at different a
A case is presented of a nose bitten off by a dog and successfully replanted by artery-to-artery and artery-to-vein anastomosis. In the absence of vein-to-vein anastomosis, the clinical course suggested that artery-to-vein anastomosis was useful for venous drainage, although the extent to which this
## Abstract Soft tissue defects of the face are a difficult reconstructive problem. Replantation of large amputated segments of the face has been rarely successful and has lagged well behind extremity trauma due in part to the relative rarity of these defects. Presented is a case of successful micr
