Reconstructive Surgery Toronto Clinic

Reconstructive Surgery deals with reconstructing shape and function which may be abnormal due to inborn errors, injury, or disease. The aim of reconstructive surgery is to allow patients to look and function as normally as possible.

Microsurgery

Microsurgery is a subspecialty of Reconstructive Surgery which incorporates the use of a microscope in order to facilitate repair on a microscopic level. Replanting amputated body parts and transplanting healthy tissues to reconstruct wounds requires that these tissues have their blood vessels repaired to reinstate healthy blood flow into these amputated or transplanted body parts. Since these blood vessels can be one millimeter or less in diameter, the use of a microscope and exceptionally steady hands are essential for any successful surgery.
