OBJECTIVE: To define how to preserve the severed limbs to prolong the period of replantation. METHODS: The original articles about preservation of severed limbs in recent years were reviewed, it was suggested that the period of replantation was determined by the injury of skeletal muscle. RESULTS: When the environment of severed limbs was changed, the injures of skeletal muscle could be decreased. CONCLUSION: After the severed limbs are reasonably preserved, the period of replantation may be prolonged.
