microsurgery
Tiny precise procedures
Microsurgery is surgery performed on extremely small structures—blood vessels, nerves, or tissues—using magnification and specialized miniature instruments.
Surgeons work under microscopes, often reattaching severed fingers or transplanting tissue with stitches invisible to the naked eye.
The replantation required hours of microsurgery to reconnect the tiny vessels.
