Microsurgery is an advanced technique that allows vessels and nerves of 1-2 millimetres to be sutured under the operating microscope. The most complex reconstructions in plastic surgery — free tissue transfer, replantation of amputated parts and nerve repair — are made possible by this technique.
Applications
Free Tissue Transfer (Free Flap)
Skin, muscle or bone is moved together with its vessels and reconnected under the microscope at the recipient site — a gold-standard option in reconstructive surgery.
Replantation
Reattachment of amputated fingers or limbs by repairing vessels, nerves and tendons. Correct transport of the amputated part and early intervention are critical.
Nerve Repair and Grafting
End-to-end repair or bridging with nerve grafts aims to restore sensation and movement; frequent in hand surgery injuries.
Lymphedema Surgery
Super-microsurgical techniques such as lymphaticovenous anastomosis may help reduce symptoms in suitable cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do microsurgical operations take?
Free tissue transfers generally take 4-8 hours depending on complexity.
How should an amputated part be transported?
Wrap it in clean moist gauze, place it in a sealed bag, and keep the bag in ice water without direct ice contact — and reach a hospital as soon as possible.
