Common Conditions Treated with Microvascular Surgery
Our practice in Mumbai treats a wide range of complex cases using microsurgical techniques:
Traumatic Limb Injuries
High-impact accidents can damage skin, muscle, and blood vessels. Microsurgery helps reconnect circulation and avoid amputation.
Cancer Reconstruction
After tumour removal (especially in breast, oral, or skin cancers), microvascular flaps restore natural appearance and function.
Facial Trauma
Reconstructive microsurgery restores symmetry and nerve function after jaw, cheekbone, or orbital injuries.
Nerve Injuries
Severed or damaged nerves can be repaired to restore sensation and motor control in the hands, face, or limbs.
Chronic Wounds and Burns
Poor-healing wounds or post-burn scars can be covered using vascularised tissue flaps to promote healing.
Benefits of Choosing Microvascular Surgery
Microsurgery allows for more precise, patient-specific reconstruction, especially in areas where both aesthetics and function matter.
How Works Microvascular Surgery Works
The process involves transferring a section of healthy tissue, skin, muscle, fat, or bone,
from one part of the body to another, and reconnecting its blood supply using microsurgical techniques.
Assessment & Imaging
We conduct a full evaluation of the defect and donor site, supported by Doppler or CT angiograms for precise surgical planning.
Flap Harvesting
Healthy tissue is carefully harvested from a donor area, preserving its artery and vein for successful transfer and integration.
Microsurgical Anastomosis
Tiny blood vessels are joined under a microscope using ultra-fine sutures, ensuring blood flow to the transplanted tissue.
Nerve Repair (If Needed)
If nerves are involved, microsurgical techniques are used to reconnect them and support the return of sensation or function.
Post-Op Monitoring
Flap viability is closely observed for 72 hours using advanced tools to ensure stable circulation and early detection of issues.
