Microsurgery
Microsurgery
is a general term for
surgery
requiring an
operating microscope
. The most obvious developments have been procedures developed to allow
anastomosis
of successively smaller blood vessels and nerves (typically 1 mm in diameter) which have allowed transfer of tissue from one part of the body to another and re-attachment of severed parts. Microsurgical techniques are utilized by several specialties today, such as:
general surgery
,
ophthalmology
,
orthopedic surgery
,
gynecological surgery
,
otolaryngology
,
neurosurgery
,
oral and maxillofacial surgery
,
plastic surgery
,
podiatric surgery
and
pediatric surgery
.
