Ectopic banking and implantation of an amputated hand

Title : Ectopic banking and implantation of an amputated hand

Abstract:

Ectopic banking includes techniques and indications used to bank amputated body parts for later replantation when a body part is amputated in its entirety. Immediate replantation is sometimes impossible due to hemodynamic instability, soft tissue loss, and extensive contamination of the amputated part. In the other hand, unique plan should be in mind to gain the best future functional results in every replantation surgery from the very beginning of the procedure. We discuss the planning and report successful clinical results for banking the amputated upper extremity over the leg.

What will audience learn from this presentation?

 1-Having experience in over 40 large upper extremity replantation cases, we discuss our planning for immediate tendon transfers in a severely crushed hand to gain maximum functional outcome.

2-This is a new site for amputated limb banking which it’s functional results and benefits have not been reported before.

3-knowing about the technique potentially will help surgeons save many amputated limbs previously thought to be not salvageable.

Biography:

Dr Omid Liaghat graduated as Medical Doctor in 1998 from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. He completed Orthopedic surgery residency in 2004 from Shafa- Yahyaian Hospital, Iran University Orthopedic center and joined the Iranian Orthopedic Board at the same year. He joined Iranian Board of Hand Surgeons in 2010 after completing Hand Fellowship course in Tehran University of Medical Sciences. For 2 years he was working as microsurgical lab supervisor in Shafa Yahyaian center. Then he found a private hand and microsurgery clinic and till now has achieved more than 40 successful functional large upper extremity replantation cases and over 350 finger replantation cases who was referred from all over Iran. He has 3 SCI articles.
