Microvascular tissue transfer. Perioperative nursing considerations.

Microvascular tissue transfer is a growing subspecialty in reconstructive surgery. Its use is increasing, and it has been used to solve difficult wound problems. The use of microvascular surgery has placed new demands on the perioperative nurse to remain current on perioperative implications of this type of surgery. Operating room nurses must continue to expand their knowledge of this area through ongoing education from journal review, specialty seminars, and increased operative experiences.
