	Microsurgery Information on Healthline
		Microsurgery is surgery that is performed on very small structures, such as blood vessels and nerves, with specialized instruments under a microscope.
		Microsurgery uses techniques that have been performed by surgeons since the early twentieth century, such as blood vessel repair and organ transplantation, but under conditions that make traditional vascular surgery difficult or impossible.
		As in the case of suture thread, the type of needle used depends on the procedure and tissue to be sutured; generally, needles with a diameter of less than 0.15 mm are used for microsurgery.

	eMedicine - Principles of Microsurgery : Article by James Chang, MD
		Microsurgery may not be the best solution for all reconstructive dilemmas and certainly is not the first choice in the reconstructive ladder.
		Once the decision to proceed with microsurgery is made, the optimal flap must be chosen.
		In microsurgery, preoperative planning and attention to the details of the operation are critical for success.

	Microsurgery can correct facial deformities
		Microsurgery, used originally to reattach limbs—could prove to be the key to permanent improvements in appearance and function.
		He uses an innovative technique known as "microvascular free tissue transfer" to fill in areas of the face that have contour deformities due to autoimmune diseases, tumors, birth defects or trauma.
		The living tissue, often taken from the patient's groin or from under the arm, is sculpted to replace facial areas that are missing.

	Microsurgeryonline History Page
		Microsurgery was developed in the twentieth century by combining techniques of vascular surgery with an operating microscope, fine instruments, micro-suture and new operative strategy and techniques.
		Microsurgery was developed as a culmination of achievement in vascular surgery.
		This was a milestone in the development of the field of microsurgery because it was the first report of an amputated part successfully reattached using blood vessels 1 millimeter in size.

	Orthopaedic Microsurgery
		Microsurgery, the newest subspecialty in orthopaedics, restores limb function by repairing tiny, delicate vessels and nerves.
		Advances in microsurgery often mean that patients may avoid amputation.
		Clinical work is supported by the microsurgery and laser research and training laboratory.

	Hendricks, MD - Microsurgery
		Microsurgery involves the use of a powerful microscope and very delicate instruments to repair nerves or blood vessels that have been damaged.
		As microsurgery developed, surgeons became skillful at moving tissue from one part of the body to another for reconstruction after removal of large cancers such as in mastectomy or following major trauma.
		Microsurgery is one of the most challenging aspects of plastic surgery but is one of the most rewarding, because patients no longer need to live with the disfigurement which was once considered a necessary part of an accident or cancer surgery.

	spider and varicose veins - microsurgery
		These formations have a matrix vein in their base and it is the real responsible for the small vases of the skin that appear due to the factors that we already explained.
		In the Microsurgery of Combined Telangiectasia, these small veins are extracted with local anesthesia.
		This treatment is indicated for patients who have collateral varicose veins of larger caliber (medium or big), but in a small number without the involvement of the saphenous vein.

	Article: The Wonders of Microsurgery: or how to fix a ruptured disc. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Microsurgery for a ruptured disc is much less invasive and requires much less recuperating time than the older method.
		Recovery was quicker because microsurgery is performed through a one-quarter inch hole in the backbone rather than through a much larger incision.
		The microsurgery technique uses a tiny cutting and suction device that cuts and removes the ruptured disc material in small microscopic pieces.

	Treatment options for Acoustic Neuroma (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The general goal of microsurgery is removal of the tumor, whereas the general goal of radiosurgery is the control of the tumor.
		It is important for patients choosing microsurgery to be clear on the exact approach, procedures, and equipment to be used for nerve monitoring.
		Microsurgery has been the standard of treatment for AN for some time, but there are those in the medical field (and patients) who challenge this belief, claiming primarily that radiosurgery is the best treatment, especially when compared to the risks of microsurgery.

	Lymphedema Microsurgery
		Through microsurgery, performed at inguinal level for lower limbs and at the brachial level for upper limbs, where there are pre and post lymphatic collectors lymph nodes with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 1 mm, it becomes possible to perform anatomopathological studies of the perilymphatic and lymphoid tissues.
		One of the main problems of microsurgery for lymphedema consists of the discrepancy between the excellent technical possibilities and the subsequently insufficient reduction of the lymphoedematous tissue fibrosis and sclerosis.

	Tubal Reversal Microsurgery
		Tubal ligation is considered to be a permanent method of female sterilization and most women who undergo tubal ligation are told that it is irreversible.
		In 1976, since there was no training program in the United States in tubal ligation reversal microsurgery techniques, I went to Belgium and England to train.
		Since returning to the U.S., I have continued to improve the tubal microsurgery techniques I learned there in order to simplify reversal of tubal ligation and make it affordable.
