When a small bone loses its blood supply, precision can bring it back to life.

One of the most demanding procedures in hand microsurgery is the transfer of a vascularized bone graft from the knee to the wrist, used to treat complex scaphoid and lunate bone pathology.

The graft, approximately 1–1.5 cm in size, is harvested to reconstruct the affected scaphoid or lunate bone and carries its own blood supply. Under the operating microscope, vessels measuring only around 0.5 mm are precisely connected to restore circulation and support the survival of the transplanted bone.

I had the opportunity to perform this highly specialized procedure together with Dr. Heinz Buerger, a world-renowned expert in hand microsurgery, who has performed nearly 1,800 procedures using this technique.

These technically demanding operations require extensive experience, microsurgical precision, and close teamwork.

We are now planning a long-term collaboration to bring this highly specialized surgical technique to more patients with complex wrist conditions.

Breast reconstruction is an important part of recovery after a breast cancer diagnosis.

For more than 30 years, I have been dedicated to breast reconstruction surgery, helping women restore not only their physical appearance but also their confidence, sense of wholeness, and quality of life after breast cancer treatment.

In my interview with Politika, I discuss modern breast reconstruction techniques, the timing of reconstruction, and the importance of choosing an individualized approach for every patient.
