Microsurgery
What Is It?
Microsurgery is an advanced surgical technique used to repair and reconnect small blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels that are too small to be seen with the naked eye, under a microscope. It is commonly used in plastic surgery for free tissue transfer, hand surgery, and post-cancer reconstructions.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The procedure is highly detailed and can take between 4 to 10 hours. It is performed under general anesthesia. The experience of the surgeon and the use of a microscope are crucial for the success of the surgery.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
It is preferred for vital and functional reasons such as preserving tissues with impaired circulation, reattaching severed organs, or transferring new tissue to replace tissue lost after cancer treatment.
Get in Touch
Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for patients who have experienced serious tissue loss due to trauma, cancer, or vascular-nervous damage and are in good overall health.
Recovery Process
The recovery process is lengthy and requires careful attention. The first 5–7 days are considered critical, and tissue circulation is closely monitored. Full recovery may take weeks, and rehabilitation may be required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can it be performed in all hospitals?
No, it can only be performed in centers with experience in microsurgery and the necessary infrastructure.
What is the success rate?
With an appropriate patient and an experienced team, the success rate is over 90%.
What happens if the tissue does not survive?
A new operation with a different technique may be attempted.
Microsurgery, when performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close collaboration with the patient, allows for achieving natural and harmonious results that maintain the overall aesthetic balance of the body. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, individualized planning plays a key role in the success of the procedure.
