Reconstructive Microvascular Surgery Programme
Reconstructive microvascular surgery is a specialised type of surgery that focuses on restoring form and function to parts of the body affected by trauma, disease, or congenital anomalies. It involves intricate procedures where tiny blood vessels, nerves, and tissues are delicately reconnected using advanced surgical techniques. The AKUH Reconstructive Microvascular Surgery Programme offers advanced surgical care for a wide range of conditions affecting the face, body, and extremities.
Conditions We Treat
Our programme is dedicated to restoring function and appearance after:
- Traumatic injuries: Microvascular surgery can reattach severed limbs, fingers, toes, and facial structures, as well as address complex wounds and scars.
- Reconstructive surgery: Reconstructive surgery can rebuild tissues removed during cancer treatment, like breast reconstruction.
- Birth defects: Microvascular surgery can address congenital anomalies of the hand and face.

- Microsurgical tissue transfer: Our surgeons meticulously transfer healthy tissue from one part of the body to reconstruct another, restoring both function and aesthetics.
