Microvascular Surgery
Microvascular surgery is a highly specialized surgical technique that involves the precise connection of very small blood vessels and nerves using a microscope and fine instruments. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Center, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) offers advanced microvascular surgery in Lahore to restore blood flow and nerve function in damaged tissues, enabling complex reconstruction and limb salvage.
Our goal is simple: repair and replace damaged tissue with healthy, vascularized tissue to restore both form and function, preventing tissue death and improving quality of life.
What Is Microvascular Surgery?
Microvascular surgery involves transferring tissue—including skin, muscle, bone, and nerves—from one part of the body to another, reconnecting tiny blood vessels (usually 1–3 millimeters) to re-establish circulation. This technique is vital in reconstructive surgery for trauma, cancer resection defects, congenital anomalies, and limb salvage after injury or tumor removal.
Microvascular Surgery Options We Offer
Free Tissue Transfer: Tissue is harvested from donor sites such as the thigh, forearm, or back and microsurgically connected to recipient vessels at the defect site for optimal coverage and restored function.
Replantation Surgery: Reattachment of amputated parts like fingers, hands, or limbs using microsurgical vessel and nerve repair to restore form and mobility.
Nerve Repair and Reconstruction: Microsurgical repair of damaged or severed nerves to regain sensation and movement.
The Microvascular Surgery Procedure
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas to assess the extent of tissue damage, discuss treatment options, and plan donor and recipient sites.
Preparation: Pre-surgical imaging and medical evaluation optimize surgical planning and patient safety.
Surgery: Under general anesthesia, tissue transfer and microsurgical vessel/nerve connection are performed with meticulous technique aimed at restoring blood flow.
Recovery: Close postoperative monitoring of blood flow to the transferred tissue, wound care, pain management, and physiotherapy enhance healing and function.
Most patients experience significant functional and aesthetic improvement, with gradual recovery over weeks to months.
Recovery & Aftercare
Close monitoring of flap perfusion to detect early complications.
Immobilization and wound care to protect the surgical site.
Gradual physiotherapy to regain mobility and function.
Long-term follow-up to optimize surgical outcomes and manage any complications.
