Table 1 Some applications of microsurgery in regenerative medicine according to specific organs

From: Regenerative medicine owes to microsurgery

1

Skin

Creating small defects, the same as burns or wound

Grafting the endothelialized reconstructed skin with the least tension and the best vascularization

2

Bone

Creating precise growth plate fracture, inducing osteoporosis in mice by ovariectomy for comparative studies

Inserting bone tissue engineered constructs for healing, injecting platelet-rich plasma for malunions

3

Nerve

Modeling of peripheral nerve damage

Microscopic nerve transplantation, assessing different bioartificial tubes

4

Vasculature

Scaffold insertion

Providing a suitable vascular bed

5

Liver

Performing partial two-thirds hepatectomy, Preforming biopsies

Hepatic cell and tissue transplantation
