Microsurgery in Surrey, B.C.

Microsurgery refers to highly specialized surgical techniques performed using powerful microscopes and extremely fine instruments. These tools allow surgeons to operate on very small structures, such as blood vessels and nerves, with exceptional precision.

At PSG, microsurgery plays an important role in reconstructive procedures following trauma, cancer surgery, or congenital conditions. By reconnecting tiny blood vessels and repairing delicate nerves, microsurgical techniques can restore circulation, preserve tissue, and improve both function and appearance after serious injury or illness.

Using sutures thinner than a human hair and advanced magnification, microsurgery allows surgeons to perform procedures that were once impossible. For many patients, these techniques can significantly improve recovery and quality of life.

Microsurgical Procedures

Microsurgery is used in a wide variety of reconstructive procedures. These techniques allow surgeons to reconnect small blood vessels and nerves that cannot be repaired using standard surgical methods. Common applications of microsurgery include replantation of amputated digits or limbs, repair of injured nerves, and complex reconstructive procedures such as transferring tissue from one part of the body to another.

In certain cases, microsurgery can also be used for advanced procedures such as toe-to-hand transplantation, where a toe may be transferred to reconstruct a thumb. In recent years, microsurgical techniques have also made procedures such as hand and face transplantation possible, demonstrating the remarkable potential of this highly specialized field.

What Is a Free Flap?

A “free flap” is a type of microsurgical reconstruction in which healthy tissue is transferred from one part of the body to another to repair a defect. The tissue—known as the flap—may include skin, fat, muscle, or a combination of tissues. It is completely removed from its original location and transplanted to the area requiring reconstruction.

Using microsurgical techniques, the surgeon reconnects the tiny blood vessels of the flap to nearby vessels at the new site, restoring blood flow and allowing the tissue to survive in its new location. Free flap procedures are commonly used to reconstruct areas affected by trauma, cancer removal, or severe tissue loss.

When Is Free Flap Microsurgery Used?

Free flap microsurgery is often used in complex reconstructive situations where local tissue is not sufficient to repair the defect. Examples include breast reconstruction following mastectomy, reconstruction of tissue after head and neck cancer surgery, and limb salvage procedures following severe trauma to the arms or legs.

By transferring healthy tissue with its own blood supply, surgeons can rebuild areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to repair. The development of microsurgical techniques has dramatically expanded the ability of reconstructive surgeons to restore both form and function in challenging cases.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microsurgery?

Microsurgical procedures are highly specialized and often require longer surgical times and detailed planning. Whether microsurgery is appropriate depends on several factors, including the type of injury or condition being treated, the patient’s overall health, and the goals of reconstruction. Certain medical conditions may increase surgical risk, and smoking can significantly affect blood flow and healing. During your consultation, your surgeon will carefully evaluate your medical history and explain whether microsurgery is the best option for your reconstruction.
