reconstructive microsurgery

Reconstructive microsurgery is a specialized surgical approach that uses small, precise instruments and a microscope to repair or rebuild damaged tissue, such as blood vessels, nerves, and skin. Surgeons often transfer tissue from one part of the body to another, called tissue or flap transfer, to restore function and appearance after trauma, cancer, or congenital conditions. This technique allows for detailed work on tiny structures, ensuring proper blood flow and nerve connection. Overall, reconstructive microsurgery helps improve quality of life by restoring form and function in complex cases where traditional surgery may not be sufficient.
