microsurgeons
Microsurgery is a specialized field of surgery that utilizes a microscope to perform delicate procedures. Microsurgeons are highly trained medical professionals who operate on very small structures, such as nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues. The magnification provided by the operating microscope allows them to see and manipulate structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. This precision is crucial for procedures involving reattachment of severed digits, reconstruction of damaged nerves, or the transplantation of tissues.
The development of microsurgery began in the mid-20th century, with significant advancements in microscopy and surgical
Common procedures performed by microsurgeons include nerve repair, vascular anastomosis (connecting blood vessels), free tissue transfer
