[Replantation of traumatically amputated parts of extremities-- indications and nomenclature].

The authors submit a brief report on replantation activities during the past five years and discuss the problem of indications and terminology of traumatic amputations. The paper contains instruction regarding communication by telephone between the attending surgeon and a specialized microsurgical department. There are also instruction how to handle the amputated portion of the limb and how to transport the patient and the amputated portion of the limb. The authors discusses traditional procedures in replantation surgery on the basis of his own experience with 292 replantations or revascularizations.

[Spastic complications in free flap transfers].

The authors follow up spastic reactions in free flap transplantations. In experiments on rats groin flaps were transplanted and during their preparation models of four types of spasms were made--segmental spasms of the afferent artery of the flap, spasms of the whole artery, spasms in the flap and tissue shock of the flap. The authors discuss possibilities of influencing and preventing spasms under experimental conditions and in clinical practice.

Problem of double vegetative innervation of rabbit cornea.

The coagulation of the sensitive part of the Gasserian ganglion in rabbits did not cause the disappearance of acetylcholinesterase-positive nerve fibres in the corneal epithelium. Most of them were very well detectable 6 to 8 days after operation. The autors cannot exclude the possibility that the interval between the coagulation and the killing the animals could be too short for disappearance of acetylcholinesterase reaction, but they express the view, that another source of corneal innervation by cholinesterase positive nerve fibres is to be taken into consideration.
