What is reconstructive microsurgery?
Reconstructive microsurgery is a surgical technique that uses microscopes and precision instruments to repair or reconstruct damaged or missing tissues. It’s often used to treat complex wounds, restore function, and improve appearance after trauma, cancer surgery, or congenital abnormalities.
Microsurgical techniques can be used for a variety of purposes, from reattaching fingers to transplanting bone or muscle. They also play a vital role in reconstructing breast tissue after a mastectomy, or restoring facial features such as building a new nose.
Here are some key aspects of reconstructive microsurgery:
- Tissue transplantation: A patient’s own tissue, such as skin, fat, muscle, or bone, is transplanted to rebuild another part of the body.
- Operating Microscope: The procedure is performed on a tiny scale with the aid of magnifying tools.
- Blood vessel reconnection: It often involves reconnecting blood vessels that are only a few millimeters wide.
