Microsurgery

Microsurgery

We treat with Microsurgery to take tissue from the leg or back to reconstruct a breast, reattach fingers or perform plastic or reconstructive surgery on ears, noses, scalps, hands, fingers, tongues, toes and other small body parts. Microsurgery is often used for complex cancer and trauma cases.
