Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Pediatric Microsurgery

Pediatric microsurgery involves precision techniques for reconstructive procedures in children, including free flaps, nerve repair, and vascularized tissue transfers. Growth considerations, small vessel size, and delicate tissue handling make pediatric microsurgery uniquely challenging. Innovations like supermicrosurgery, 3D imaging, and robotic-assisted techniques improve outcomes and expand possibilities. Focus is on restoring function, appearance, and mobility while minimizing donor site morbidity and long-term complications. Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures comprehensive care, integrating rehabilitation and supportive therapies. Ethical decision-making, parental counseling, and careful perioperative management are central to success. Participants gain knowledge of specialized pediatric microsurgical techniques, advanced technologies, and strategies to optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes for complex pediatric reconstructive cases.
