Reconstructive microsurgery a highly innovative surgical technique that uses precision surgical microscopes and specialized instruments. These specialized tools allow our plastic surgeons to be more precise and effective around intricate structures such as blood vessels and nerves smaller than a strand of hair by utilizing magnification up to 50 times that produced by the naked eye.

BSSNY plastic surgeons use reconstructive microsurgery technics to restore form and function to patients who have been impaired by cancer or trauma. It is typically reserved for complex reconstructive surgery problems when other options (primary closure, skin grafting, local or regional flap transfer) are inadequate.

The ability to reestablish continuity and blood flow to small, severed nerves and vessels has made a major impact on the potential to restore form and function to individuals impaired by trauma or cancer. These techniques are providing a new lease on life for severely injured patients whose problems cannot be solved by more traditional techniques.
