Microsurgical reconstruction is surgery in which tissue taken from another part of the patient's own body is transplanted to repair a large defect in the skin or tissue caused by conditions such as trauma, cancer, or diabetes. It is a highly complex operation in which blood vessels 1–2 mm in diameter are connected under a microscope, and it is used for legs at risk of amputation and for repairing defects after head and neck cancer surgery.2026-06-26

Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.2026-06-26
