[Quantitative hemodynamic studies in finger reimplants using intraoperative flow measurement and postoperative phlebemphraxis plethysmography (author's transl)].

1. Clinical and haemodynamical checking has shown that no negative influence on the result of re-implantation is exercised by safeguarding the venous flow via a single anastomosis at the back of the finger (success quota 82%). 2. One venous thrombosis only occurred as a result of the surgical procedure mentioned above, in 18 reimplanted fingers (5,5%); hence, the quota of venous thromboses is definitely lower than with other reported groups of patients (2, 6). 3. Anastomosing of one dorsal vein only in the reimplantation of long fingers and thumb can, therefore, be recommended as a simplified routine method.
