  ABSTRACT: The objective of this review was to critically present and evaluate recent investigations into nanotechnology and it’s applications in reconstructive surgery. In addition, this review aims to looks at a plethora of applications with nanotechnology in the subject area of reconstructive surgery. The Medline and PubMed databases were searched for clinical trial and case report publications dealing with reconstructive surgeries involving nanotechnology. Reports that were identified addressed different areas of reconstructive surgery and outlined a clear methodology for their studies. Eight publications show that the use of nanotechnology in reconstructive surgery is promising yet still in its early stages and that extensive research needs to be carried out if the expectation of this advancing technology is to overtake current surgical procedures. However, it is clear that there will be a continued interest and progression in this subject field as nanotechnology science is unveiled.
