What is Micro Surgical Reconstruction?
Micro-surgical reconstruction is a surgical technique that involves using microscopes and specialized instruments to perform complex procedures that require precision at a microscopic level. This technique is often used in reconstructive surgery to repair or restore damaged tissues or organs, such as in breast reconstruction after mastectomy, or in the repair of nerves, blood vessels, and other small structures.
Procedure
The length of micro-surgical reconstruction can vary from 6 to 8 hours, and in some cases, the surgery may be performed in multiple stages.
Recovery
The recovery period for micro-surgical breast reconstruction can vary depending on several factors. However, in general, patients can expect to spend seven weeks recovering after micro-surgical breast reconstruction.
Anesthesia
In general, micro-surgical breast reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient will be asleep and will not feel any pain during the procedure.
