At Manipal Hospitals in Mukundapur, Kolkata, our Cancer Care/Oncology Department offers specialised Microvascular Reconstruction services to support patients undergoing complex cancer treatments. This advanced surgical technique is used to repair or reconstruct body parts that may have been affected by cancer surgery, trauma, or congenital conditions.
Microvascular reconstruction surgery involves the precise reattachment of blood vessels and tissues using microsurgical techniques. This approach allows for the transplantation of healthy tissue from one part of the body to another, ensuring the restoration of function and appearance in areas affected by cancer or previous surgeries. Common procedures include reconstructive surgeries for the breast, head and neck, and extremities, helping to improve both physical appearance and quality of life.
Our skilled surgeons use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to perform these intricate procedures with a focus on minimising complications and optimising outcomes. We are committed to providing comprehensive care, from pre-operative planning and surgical execution to post-operative recovery and rehabilitation.

Microvascular Reconstruction surgery is suitable for individuals with significant tissue loss or damage from trauma, cancer, or congenital issues who have healthy donor sites and are in good overall health. Candidates should be able to follow post-surgery care instructions, ideally be non-smokers or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations about the surgery and recovery process. A thorough evaluation by a surgical team will determine if this procedure is appropriate.

You might need this surgery if you have suffered significant tissue loss or damage that cannot be repaired with traditional methods. Common reasons include recovering from cancer surgery, traumatic injuries, or congenital deformities that require reconstruction of tissues, such as the skin, muscles, or bones.

Before the procedure, you will get a comprehensive assessment that may involve blood tests, imaging investigations, and discussions with your surgical team. Any pre-surgery advice, such as fasting or discontinuing specific medications, that your healthcare professional gives you should be followed.

During the procedure, tissue is taken from one donor site (the section of your body that needs rebuilding) and transplanted to the damaged location. To ensure appropriate blood flow and function, surgeons connect microscopic blood vessels and nerves between the donor tissue and the recipient region using microsurgical procedures.
The length of recovery following Microvascular Reconstruction surgery will depend on the procedure's complexity and your general state of health. A few days in the hospital are usually what to anticipate, along with a recuperation phase that entails pain management, wound care, and rest from physically demanding activities. To assist in regaining strength and function, physical therapy may be suggested.
There are some hazards and side effects, like infection, bleeding, graft failure, or issues with wound healing, just like with any major operation. Your surgeon will go over these risks with you and offer tips on how to keep them as low as possible.
It could take many months for the full effects of Microvascular Reconstruction surgery to manifest. With time, swelling and bruises normally go down, and the newly reconstructed tissue eventually blends in with the surrounding area. Appointments for follow-up will help track your development and handle any issues.
To resolve any issues or get the intended result, other procedures or treatments could occasionally be required. For optimal results, your surgeon will provide you with a detailed treatment plan and follow-up schedule.
The complexity of the case and the amount of rebuilding required will determine how long Microvascular Reconstruction surgery takes. It often lasts between four and eight hours.
Usually, doctors prescribe medication to treat pain. To reduce pain, you can also apply ice packs and adhere to your surgeon's instructions.
Keep an eye out for symptoms including intense pain, unusual discharge, fever, or redness or swelling at the surgical site. Get in touch with your doctor if you encounter any of these signs.
Although scarring is possible, individual healing and the surgical technique employed will determine the extent and visibility of the scars. Your surgeon will offer advice on how to manage scars and achieve desired cosmetic results.
For a few weeks following surgery, you will need to refrain from physically demanding activities and heavy lifting. You can gradually resume normal activities based on specific advice that your surgeon will give you.
