Abstract
Little literature exists on storage and preparation of an amputated limb prior to transfer to a reconstructive plastic surgical unit for possible macroreplantation. This paper describes practical measures used to prolong ischaemia time allowing macroreplantation, tissue harvesting, or fashioning of a useful stump. A simple protocol is used to summarise these points.Entities:
