Review highlights innovations and outcomes of microsurgery in nonplastic surgical specialties, suggesting its growing importance.
Microsurgery, once the domain of plastic and reconstructive surgery, has seen widespread adoption across a broad range of nonplastic surgical specialties. Utilizing magnification and refined instrumentation, microsurgery enables precise manipulation of structures at the submillimeter level, improving outcomes in complex surgical procedures. This review highlights the expanding role of microsurgery in various nonplastic surgery specialties. We summarize key innovations, clinical outcomes, and emerging applications, while also addressing future directions in considerations to redefine microsurgery and the role of robotic microsurgery. The findings underscore the growing importance of microsurgical techniques in advancing modern surgical care across disciplines.
