Microsurgery
At Merit Health Central, plastic and reconstructive surgeons treat complicated hand and extremity injuries. Microsurgery is performed when a patient's hand or other body part becomes detached through a motor vehicle accident or other severe trauma or injury, including a saw or heavy equipment. In addition to restoring function to amputated parts, the surgeons can transfer nerves to new locations to maximize function and achieve other positive results even when massive soft tissue injury has occurred.
Surgeons use advanced diagnostic and surgery techniques and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some conditions our surgeons treat include:
-
Amputation-related loss of function
-
Nerve injuries
-
Vascular injuries
-
Acute fractures
-
Soft tissue loss
-
Burns
-
Multiple tendon injuries
