microvascular anastomosis

Microvascular anastomosis is a surgical procedure that connects small blood vessels, typically less than a millimeter in diameter, using precise techniques and tiny instruments. Surgeons suture these vessels together to restore blood flow, often during reconstructive surgeries or to save tissues after injury. The process requires high skill to ensure the vessels are joined properly without leaks or blockages, which is crucial for tissue survival. It allows for the restoration of blood supply in complex cases, facilitating healing and functional recovery in various medical treatments.
