Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid copy.; "Posttraumatic stump formation and replantation of the severed limb are both reconstructive plastic operations which may lead to improvement or destruction of a patient's lifestyle. For the primary attending surgeon, the difficult decision whether to undertake such an operation depends on the patient's clinical condition, the operational circumstances, the psychological and social aspects, and last, but not least, on the surgeon's own abilities. This monograph is designed as a synopsis of the great number of patho-physiological parameters and surgical and rehabilitative aspects which must be considered in the analysis of complications of major limb replantation. In addition, basic information about the key role of ischemic myopathy and microangiopathy is supplied, to encourage further experimental investigation." - author's Preface. ; Ex-Library; 124 pages.
