Overview and Purpose
Microsurgery is a highly specialized surgical discipline that utilizes high-powered operating microscopes and precision instruments to perform intricate procedures on tiny structures. This field focuses on the repair and reconnection of blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic channels that are often less than $1 \text{ mm}$ in diameter. By operating at this microscopic scale, surgeons can move living tissue from one part of the body to another, ensuring it remains biologically viable in its new location.
The primary goal of Reconstructive Microsurgery is to solve complex anatomical challenges that traditional surgery cannot address. At Liv Hospital, our purpose is to provide a restorative solution for patients who have suffered significant tissue loss due to trauma, cancer, or congenital conditions. Whether it involves wound repair microsurgery for a limb-saving procedure or the reconstruction of a jawbone, our focus is on the biological integration of transferred tissue. By restoring blood flow and nerve sensation, we aim to return the patient to their highest possible level of functional independence.
Common Procedures
This is the cornerstone of Reconstructive Microsurgery. It involves harvesting a “unit” of tissue—which may include skin, muscle, bone, or a combination—along with its own artery and vein.
At Liv Hospital, we utilize Microsurgery to restore the electrical and circulatory pathways of the body.
Consultation and Preparation
A successful Microsurgery begins with a sophisticated biological assessment of the “donor” and “recipient” sites. At Liv Hospital, our specialists use CT Angiography and Doppler ultrasound to map out the tiny blood vessels that will sustain the tissue transfer. This ensures that the chosen “flap” has a robust biological supply. We evaluate your overall cardiovascular health and nutritional status, as the body requires significant resources to heal these microscopic connections.
Surgery and Recovery
Reconstructive microsurgery is a highly detailed procedure, often lasting between 4 and 12 hours. To maximize efficiency, two surgical teams typically collaborate at once: one focuses on prepping the recipient wound site while the other harvests the necessary donor tissue.Working under high-powered magnification of 20X to 40X, surgeons use sutures finer than a strand of hair to meticulously reconnect blood vessels. At Liv Hospital, we emphasize a “no-tension” approach, which is vital for maintaining healthy, natural blood circulation across the newly joined vessels.
Maintenance and Results
The results of Microsurgery are designed to be permanent, as the transferred tissue becomes a natural part of its new location.
Liv Hospital is a global center of excellence for Microsurgery. We combine JCI-accredited safety with the world’s most advanced operating microscopes and a dedicated microsurgical nursing team. Our surgeons are pioneers in Reconstructive Microsurgery, handling the most complex cases ranging from trauma-induced wound repair microsurgery to intricate lymphedema repairs.

The primary difference lies in the scope of the correction and incision length. A mini abdominoplasty targets only the area below the navel with a shorter incision and limited muscle repair. A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen from ribcage to pubis, involves a longer incision, and includes complete muscle repair and belly button repositioning.
The surgical repair of diastasis recti uses permanent sutures to bring the muscles back together, providing a long-lasting correction. However, the durability of this repair depends on maintaining a stable weight and avoiding future pregnancies. Extreme physical strain or significant weight gain can compromise the repair over time.
In a full abdominoplasty, the belly button remains attached to the abdominal wall, but the surrounding skin is removed and redraped. A new opening is created in the tightened skin for the belly button to emerge. Skilled surgeons sculpt this area to ensure the navel looks natural, with appropriate depth and hooding, rather than looking surgically altered.
Yes, it is often combined with other contouring procedures, such as flank liposuction or breast surgery. This combination is usually referred to as a “Mommy Makeover.” Combining procedures can provide a more balanced and comprehensive transformation, though it requires careful assessment of the patient’s overall health and recovery capacity.
While primarily aesthetic, the procedure often provides functional medical benefits. Repairing the abdominal wall can improve core stability, alleviate back pain associated with muscle separation, and reduce skin irritation or rashes caused by overlapping skin folds. These functional improvements often contribute significantly to patient satisfaction.
