Microsurgery
Microsurgery involves the use of specialist instruments and sutures (stitches) to rejoin small blood vessels and nerves.
The Procedure
These techniques enable the repair and replantation of injured or severed parts.
The same techniques can also be employed to move large volumes of specialised tissues as free flaps. These permit reconstruction of defects after trauma or cancer surgery.
Microsurgery can be used in the following areas :
- Hand Surgery
- Reconstruction of the Upper limb
