Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary objective is to study the applicability of robotic-assisted<br /><br>microsurgery in replantation of amputated digits due to trauma. The primary<br /><br>outcome will be the quality of the anastomoses using Structured Assessment of<br /><br>Microsurgery Skills (SAMS).</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>To provide important surgical and technical information, and to collect patient<br /><br>and surgeon satisfaction, the following secondary outcome measures are gathered:<br /><br>- Survival of the replanted digits;<br /><br>- Duration of surgery;<br /><br>- Adverse events, complications and robotic errors peri-operatively;<br /><br>- Post-operative complications and adverse events;<br /><br>- Surgeons satisfaction with the technique applied;<br /><br>- Patients satisfaction with the surgery procedure;<br /><br>- Function of the hand over time.</p><br>
