If you need precise reconstructive surgery, trust your care to the pioneers of microsurgery. In 1970, Dr. Harry Buncke, recognized as the father of microsurgery, created the microsurgery department at what’s now our CPMC Davies Campus. Since then, our teams have performed thousands of successful reconstructive procedures. During microsurgery, surgeons reconnect blood vessels and nerves under a microscope, which allows them to reattach body parts like fingers and ears. We offer emergency replantation surgery, free-tissue transplants, and nerve repair and grating. Our experienced surgeons and advanced instruments can repair and keep damaged nerves and tissues. These delicate procedures can help you restore your balance, mobility and appearance after an accident, injury or illness. ## By the numbers ### 27+ Sutter plastic surgeons specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. ### 1st human toe-to-hand transplant and four-digit replant occurred at CPMC’s Microsurgery Surgery Center, providing novel ways to reconstruct and reattach the thumb and fingers. ### 1st scalp replant was provided at CPMC’s Microsurgery Surgery Center as a way to replace scalp tissue. ### 1 in 100 Americans receive their healthcare from Sutter. ## Need a referral?
