Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Microsurgery & Tissue Transfer

Microsurgery and tissue transfer involve highly precise surgical techniques to repair complex defects using free and local flaps, vascular anastomosis, and nerve reconstruction. Core applications include trauma reconstruction, oncologic defect repair, and congenital deformity correction. Advanced microsurgical training emphasizes magnification, instrument handling, and microvascular suturing for optimal outcomes. Innovations such as perforator flaps, supermicrosurgery, and tissue engineering expand reconstructive possibilities while minimizing donor site morbidity. Preoperative planning using 3D imaging, Doppler mapping, and intraoperative monitoring enhances flap survival and functional outcomes. Postoperative care, complication management, and rehabilitation are critical for long-term success. Ethical considerations, meticulous surgical planning, and patient-centered approaches guide decision-making. Attendees gain practical knowledge of microsurgical techniques, flap selection, technological advancements, and evidence-based strategies for successful tissue reconstruction in complex clinical scenarios.
