Microsurgery has diverse clinical applications across multiple medical specialties. It is commonly employed in reconstructive surgery to address tissue defects following trauma, oncological resections, or congenital anomalies, utilizing precise procedures to reattach small blood vessels and nerves. This includes the replantation of amputated body parts such as fingers or hands, as well as the reconstruction of complex defects in the head and neck region, upper and lower extremities and breast among others. Microsurgical techniques are also crucial in nerve repair surgeries to restore function and sensation after trauma but as well in facial reanimation procedures to address paralysis; meanwhile lymphaticovenous anastomosis and vascularized lymph node transfers are useful procedures to treat or prevent lymphedema. Overall, microsurgery represents a cornerstone in modern medicine, offering innovative solutions for a wide range of clinical challenges.
