Following replantation, patients should recover in an intensive care unit for 24 to 48 hours due to the need for frequent clinical assessments to monitor for signs of replantation failure. The most common and practical clinical assessment method is to monitor the temperature of the replanted part,

In replantation surgery following macro-amputation (e.g. arm or leg amputation), maximal length of the replanted extremity can be preserved by vascular grafts for blood supply and pedicled or free soft tissue flaps for defect coverage.
