Microsurgery: A Useful and Versatile Tool in Surgical Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microsurgery is an evolving discipline of surgery that deals with the surgery of very small structures such as blood vessels and nerves typically 1 mm or less in diameter [1]. Despite its relatively recent advent it has created its own niche in the various domains of surgery in no time. Be it the field of vascular surgery, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmic surgery or plastic and reconstructive surgery, everywhere microsurgery is gaining popularity [1]. Hence it becomes essential for surgeons to have a basic conceptual knowledge of this discipline.
