Many cancer reconstructive surgeries use microvascular techniques; it is often called a “free flap surgery”. In microvascular surgical procedure oncologist take one part of tissue and blood vessels from patient’s body, these parts are moved to the damaged body part, it is called as transplantation. A surgeon uses small stitches in the process to connect blood vessels. These stitches are very minor only visible with a microscope, but it plays a vital role to connect the tissue and blood vessels at the new site. Sometimes, with the help of reconstructive surgery, an oncologist can restore the appearance of a body part as well as often its functions, like a restoration of jawbone shape and its functions in Head and neck surgery.
This surgery may take place to restore own blood supply of transplanted new tissues.
This procedure uses nearby body tissue to cover a specific area which is affected by cancer surgery. The tissue is not disconnected from the body or blood supply, it is just moved to the nearby area.
Damaged body part gets replaced by an artificial implant as breast, testicular and penile implants.
These surgical procedures minimize or help to fed away scars because of earlier surgery.
