How much does it cost to transplant a toe and thumb?

Most patients with amputated fingers can undergo total reconstruction surgery to repair their damaged fingers. However, the degree of finger injury varies from person to person. The damage to blood vessels, nerves, and tendons cannot be assessed online. You need to go to the hospital. During the consultation, experts will evaluate the condition of the finger and determine the repair plan before clarifying the specific cost.

Special reminder: Due to the large number of patients with severed finger defects, Professor Huang Wei’s surgery schedule is tight. In order to ensure the quality of each patient’s treatment, the full-shape finger reconstruction clinic time is designated every Tuesday morning. Patients such as An in-person consultation is required and an appointment needs to be made two weeks in advance. Please understand.

1. The skin flap reconstruction simply wraps the injured finger. It has no function or appearance and is just a simple stump trimming;

2. Toe transplantation is to take a piece of tissue from the foot. The toe is transplanted to the injured hand. Although the function is restored, the appearance is still that of a toe, which can easily cause secondary psychological damage to patients with amputated fingers;

3. Full-body reconstruction is A new technology developed based on toe transplantation. Before transplantation, it is modified (bone, toe nail flap) to make it nearly consistent with the appearance of a normal finger. The shape of the phalanges is the same. At the same time, the anastomosis is like a hair under a high-power microscope. Small blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and Kirschner wires fix the bone connection parts. After later rehabilitation exercises, the reconstructed fingers can have normal grip, feeling and perception;

4. 3D full-shaped finger reconstruction The technique uses 3D printing technology to assist in design based on full-shape reconstruction, making the fully-shape reconstructed fingers more realistic while minimizing damage to the parts where the materials are taken and preserving the toes to the greatest extent.

Reconstruction is different from other surgeries. The slightest difference can make a huge difference. The whole process is performed under a high-power microscope. It is difficult and technically demanding. There are fewer doctors who master this technology. Because one suture error will lead to The entire operation failed.

After 3D full-shape finger reconstruction, the finger body has appearance, feeling, and sensation. The appearance of the finger body is restored to 80-90%, and the function can be restored to 80% or even higher after rehabilitation training! The recovery of function varies from person to person and has a lot to do with the patient's postoperative care and rehabilitation exercises. Generally, following the doctor's advice, most of the finger and body functions (grasping, pinching, grasping, etc.) can be restored after recovery.
