title: [Microsurgery in children].
abstract: While we celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the first free flap in children, new techniques emerged in reconstructive surgery (NPT, artificial dermis…) and reduced microsurgery procedures. However, microsurgery in children as in adults still have clinical applications in reconstructive surgery. Free flaps remain essential in clinical situations where they are the only ones to provide capacity for growth and stability scarring, two elements essential to the future quality of life of the children.
