Microsurgical Tissue Transplantation
(Reconstructive Microsurgery)

In cases such as accidents, trauma, tumor surgeries, or congenital tissue deficiencies, tissue transplantation using microsurgery can be performed to replace lost tissues in the body. In this procedure, healthy tissue taken from one part of the body is transferred to another area under a microscope along with its blood vessels and nerve connections. The transplanted tissue is reconnected to the blood vessels at the recipient site, preserving its vitality and adapting to the new location.

​

Microsurgical tissue transplantation is highly successful in cases such as breast reconstruction after breast cancer, reconstruction of defects following head and neck cancers, and closure of large tissue losses caused by trauma or infection. This method provides functional and aesthetic results especially in areas where conventional techniques are not feasible. The surgery generally lasts 6–8 hours and requires careful postoperative monitoring. In suitable patients, a permanent solution can be achieved with a single surgical session.

Microsurgical operations are advanced procedures requiring expertise and experience. A thorough preoperative evaluation is necessary, carefully assessing the patient’s overall health, vascular structure, and suitability of the donor tissue. During the postoperative period, close monitoring ensures that the transplanted tissue is well perfused and healthy. This approach guarantees a safe and successful healing process. For appropriate candidates, microsurgery represents the most advanced reconstructive method for tissue replacement and improving quality of life.
