Microvascular Surgery
Microvascular Surgery is a specialized surgical technique that focuses on repairing or reconstructing small blood vessels and nerves. This type of surgery is often used in procedures involving the reconstruction of tissues after trauma, cancer removal, or congenital defects. Surgeons use advanced microscopes and instruments to perform intricate connections between tiny vessels, which are essential for proper blood flow and healing.
The success of microvascular surgery relies on the surgeon's skill and precision, as well as the patient's overall health. Common applications include free tissue transfer, where a piece of tissue is moved from one part of the body to another, and nerve repair, which helps restore function and sensation after injury.
