Microsurgery | Sutter Health (original) (raw)
When you need reconstructive surgery for fingers or other small body parts, turn to our microsurgery specialists for high-quality care.
If you need precise reconstructive surgery, trust your care to the pioneers of microsurgery. In 1970, Dr. Harry Buncke, recognized as the father of microsurgery, created the microsurgery department at what’s now our CPMC Davies Campus. Since then, our teams have performed thousands of successful reconstructive procedures.
During microsurgery, surgeons reconnect blood vessels and nerves under a microscope, which allows them to reattach body parts like fingers and ears. We offer emergency replantation surgery, free-tissue transplants, and nerve repair and grating. Our experienced surgeons and advanced instruments can repair and keep damaged nerves and tissues. These delicate procedures can help you restore your balance, mobility and appearance after an accident, injury or illness.
