In cases such as accidents, trauma, tumor surgeries or congenital tissue deficiencies, tissue transplantation can be performed using microsurgery to replace the losses in the body. In this process, healthy tissue taken from one part of the body is moved to another area under the microscope, along with its vascular and nerve connections. The transplanted tissue maintains its vitality and adapts to its new location by reconnecting with the vessels where it was moved.
Microsurgical tissue transplantation is applied with high success rates in cases such as breast reconstruction after breast cancer, completion of missing structures in head and neck cancers, and closure of large tissue losses occurring after trauma or infection. This method provides functional and aesthetic results, especially in areas that cannot be repaired with classical methods. The surgery can usually take 6-8 hours and requires careful monitoring. In suitable patients, a permanent solution can be provided with a single session surgery.
Microsurgery operations are advanced operations that require expertise and experience. A detailed evaluation should be made before application; The patient’s general health condition, vascular structure and suitability of the tissue to be transported should be carefully examined. During the postoperative period, the patient is closely monitored to ensure that the transported tissue has healthy blood supply. In this way, the healing process proceeds safely and successfully. For suitable candidates, microsurgery is the most advanced reconstruction method in terms of replacing lost tissues and improving quality of life.
