Microsurgery refers to a surgical technique that uses an operating microscope viewable by the surgeon during a procedure. The doctor utilizes specialized instruments during the operation to match the miniscule structures that he is dealing with, along with the sophisticated microscope and display equipment.

Microsurgery is used extensively in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries when transferring tissue, replanting (re-attaching) body parts and connecting small blood vessels and nerve components. Plastic surgeons also employ microsurgical techniques to reconstruct damaged or disfigured skin and muscles.
