Facial Paralysis
Our specialists provide innovative solutions to restore facial movement and improve the quality of life for individuals dealing with facial paralysis. Advanced techniques are employed for optimal outcomes.
Microvascular Reconstruction
Microvascular surgery plays a crucial role in reconstructive procedures by enabling surgeons to transfer various tissues, such as bone, muscle, fat, fascia, and skin, from one part of the body to another. This technique becomes essential in repairing damaged or dysfunctional tissues. The vitality of every tissue in the body relies on blood vessels (arteries and veins), with some tissues, like muscles, requiring nerves to function properly. Microvascular surgeons, through intricate procedures, delicately reconnect arteries, veins, and nerves to ensure the transferred tissues thrive in their new location, restoring both form and function. Often referred to as free flap surgery, microsurgery demands extensive training and expertise. At WAISS, our surgeons possess considerable experience in free flap surgery, applying their skills for reconstruction procedures across the entire body, from head to toe.
