TLDR
If no further episode of rejection occurs, the functional prognosis of this graft should be similar to if not better than that reported in large series of autoreconstruction.

A 25-year perspective of peripheral nerve surgery: evolving neuroscientific concepts and clinical significance.

TL;DR: In spite of an enormous amount of new experimental laboratory data based on evolving neuroscientific concepts during the last 25 years, peripheral nerve injuries still belong to the most challenging and difficult surgical reconstructive problems.

First human face allograft: early report

TL;DR: The 4-month outcome demonstrates the feasibility of composite tissue transplantation in facial reconstructive surgery and can already be deemed successful with respect to appearance, sensitivity, and acceptance by the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

The international registry on hand and composite tissue transplantation

TL;DR: Hand transplantation is feasible with a high success rate and satisfactory functional outcome, and patients developed protective sensibility, 90% of them developed tactile sensibility and 72% also a discriminative sensibility.

Incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in kidney and heart transplant recipients.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the risk of NHL is related to the aggressiveness of the immunosuppressive regimen, and in patients who received rejection prophylaxis with antilymphocyte antibodies there were significant increases in risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Present Indications and Contraindications for Replantation as Reflected by Long-Term Functional Results

TL;DR: It is evident that the independent experiences of these hand surgery units in three completely different parts of the world are remarkable similar, but differences are minor compared with the common pattern of experience that clearly exists and upon which conclusions can be based for formulating some general guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fk506 and the role of immunophilins in nerve regeneration

TL;DR: Studies of FK506 indicate broad functional roles for the immunophilins in the nervous system, and novel, nonimmunosuppressant ligands for FKBPs may represent important new drugs for the treatment of a variety of neurological disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical application of peripheral nerve transplantation.

TL;DR: Surgical reconstruction of extensive peripheral nerve injuries frequently exhausts the patient's own source of expendable autogenous nerve grafts, so consideration can be given to the use of a nerve allograft in the selected patient with an otherwise irreparable nerve injury.

Major replantation versus revision amputation and prosthetic fitting in the upper extremity: A late functional outcomes study

TL;DR: It is indicated that replantation produces superior functional results compared with amputation and a prosthesis.
