    Abstract
  • Microsurgical techniques have evolved from conventional microsurgical anastomosis to supermicrosurgery and now to robot-assisted surgery, continuously advancing towards greater precision, detail, and intelligence. Free flap transplantation has undergone a conceptual innovation, shifting its focus from solely repairing the recipient area to also protecting the donor area. This has driven the development of free perforator flaps towards ultra-thin, chimeric, and functional directions, while also gradually exploring cutting-edge fields such as allogeneic or xenogeneic transplantation. Furthermore, artificial intelligence technology is increasingly integrated into the entire process of wound repair preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative evaluation, facilitating a transition in clinical decision-making from experience-dependent to evidence-based approaches. This paper briefly discusses the microsurgery techniques and free perforator flaps for wound repair, aiming to offer theoretical support for their clinical application and optimization.
