Microsurgery: Precision Healing by Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune in Pune

Microsurgery is a highly specialized surgical technique performed under magnification using loupes or an operating microscope. Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune, Consultant Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon in Pune, expertly performs microsurgery on intricate structures such as blood vessels less than 3 mm in diameter and delicate nerves.

What is Microsurgery?
Microsurgery involves the meticulous handling of small anatomical structures, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with high precision. This technique is particularly valuable in situations where standard surgical approaches are not feasible.

Key Applications of Microsurgery
Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune uses microsurgical techniques for various reconstructive and restorative procedures, including:

• Replantation of Amputated Parts: Restoration of severed fingers, hands, or scalp using precise reattachment of blood vessels and nerves.
• Free Tissue Transfers (Free Flaps): - 1)Radial Forearm Flap, 2) Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) Flap
  3) Free Fibula Skin and Bone Flap - These flaps are completely detached from one part of the body and transferred to another site needing reconstruction.
• Fallopian Tube Recanalization: A sophisticated method to reverse tubal ligation and restore fertility using microsurgery.

How Does It Work?
Microsurgery allows the isolation of tissue flaps based on a single artery and its accompanying veins. After detachment, the flap is transferred to the defect site. Under high magnification, these tiny blood vessels are reconnected (anastomosed) to vessels in the recipient area, ensuring blood flow and tissue survival. This devascularized-revascularized technique is known as a microsurgical free flap.

Benefits of Microsurgery

• Restores both appearance and function
• Critical in managing trauma-related tissue loss and cancer reconstruction
• Enhances success rates in replantation and fertility restoration
