Fellow Redditor. Reattaching limbs is a complex process called replantation surgery. Doctors first clean and prep the severed limb, then carefully reattach bones, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles. Blood flow is restored through microsurgery, where tiny vessels are stitched together. Success rates depend on various factors like timing, type of injury, and patient’s overall health. Amazing how modern medicine can literally piece us back together.
