Microsurgery covers the work done under an operating microscope: reconnecting vessels and nerves too small to see, replanting an amputated part, and moving tissue with its blood supply to rebuild what an injury or a cancer removed. These articles explain what makes these cases time critical, what happens in the hours after such an operation and how the decisions are made. For the operations themselves, see the microsurgery pages.

Free tissue transfer is a large decision made in one conversation. These ten questions make sure the donor site, the monitoring and the possibility of failure are all covered.
Read the article →Once the flap is stable, recovery becomes a longer project. Here is how the weeks and months after free tissue transfer usually unfold, including the stages people forget to plan for.
Read the article →Free tissue transfer depends on the team as much as the surgeon. Here is how to check training, ask about monitoring and theatre access, and spot the answers that should worry you.
Read the article →Families often arrive at a microsurgery consultation with the wrong picture entirely. These are the beliefs we correct most often about free flaps and what they can do.
Read the article →The week after free tissue transfer is the week the flap is watched most closely. Here is what the hourly checks, the drains, the warmth and the early mobilising are all for.
Read the article →Some wounds and defects cannot be closed with stitches or a graft. These five signs suggest that tissue may need to be moved from elsewhere with its own blood supply.
Read the article →Consent for replantation is often taken in a hurry. These are the questions worth asking anyway, what each one is really testing, and how to recognise a good answer.
Read the article →Recovery after a replanted finger is measured in months, not days. This timeline walks through bone healing, tendon work, returning sensation and the slow return to normal use.
Read the article →With an amputated finger you rarely have days to choose. This guide explains what qualifications matter, what to ask on the phone and which warning signs should make you look elsewhere.
Read the article →Questions readers ask about the articles themselves. For a question about your own treatment, the treatment page linked from each article is the better place to start.
Ask your question →The clinical team writes them, starting from the questions patients actually ask in consultation rather than from a keyword list. Every clinical page is then reviewed and approved by Dr. Ashutosh Shah, Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon (DNB), before it goes live. Nothing here is published anonymously.
Each article carries a review month on the page itself, so you can judge how current it is rather than guess. Clinical pages are re read at least once a year, and sooner when surgical practice, national guidance or scheme coverage changes. The review date is only advanced when the page has genuinely been read again.
No. These pages explain conditions and operations in general terms. They cannot examine you and they do not replace a consultation with a doctor who knows your history. What they can do is get you to that consultation with better questions.
Because the article is the general explanation and the treatment page carries the clinical detail: what the operation involves, what the risks are, how long recovery takes and what it costs. Keeping them separate lets the article stay readable without leaving out the things that matter before a decision.
No. Pages are not rewritten from competitor websites, and paragraphs are not reused across treatment pages. The source material is real consultation questions, the clinic's own case experience and recognised surgical references. Outcomes are never promised and there are no invented statistics or patient stories.
Write to info@eleganceclinic.in with the page address and what appears to be wrong. Factual errors are corrected on the page rather than quietly removed, and the review date is advanced when they are. Patients and referring doctors are equally welcome to raise a query.
