1. Abstract: Microsurgery
What is Microsurgery?
Microsurgery is a general term for surgery requiring an
operating microscope. The most obvious developments are to
allow 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.
Initially contemporary reconstructive microsurgery was
successful using blood vessels Latter plastic surgeons ushered in
many new microsurgical innovations like the microsurgical
transplantation of the second toe to thumb followed by great toe
(big toe) to thumb was performed latter developed to reconstruct
head and neck cancer defects with living bone from the hip or the
fibula.
Transplantation
Microsurgical techniques have developed in transplantation
research. Thus, microsurgery represents the link between surgery
and transplant immunological research. Microsurgery was also
important to develop new techniques of transplantation that
would be later performed in humans. In addition, it allows
reconstruction of small arteries in clinical organ transplantation
(e.g. accessory arteries in cadaver liver transplantation, polar
arteries in renal transplantation and in living liver donor
transplantation).
Treatment of infertility
Microsurgery has been used to treat several pathologic conditions
leading to infertility. Microsurgical treatment has been shown to
significantly improve fertility rate also in patients.
Lumbar microscopic Discectomy
Open Discectomy
Open discectomy is the most common surgical treatment for
ruptured or herniated discs of the lumbar spine. When the outer
wall of a disc, the annulus fibrosus, becomes weakened, it may
tear allowing the soft inner part of the disc, the nucleus pulposus,
to push its way out. This is called disc herniation, disc proplapse
from the surgical site so the surgeon has a clear view of the
vertebrae and disc. In some cases bone and ligaments may have to
be removed for the surgeon to be able to visualize the lamina of
the vertebrae, disc and other surrounding structures, he or she
will remove the section of the disc from the disc. This is often
done under magnification. This is called a laminectomy or
laminotomy depending on how much bone is removed. No
material is used to replace the disc tissue that is removed. The
incision is then closed with sutures and the patient is taken to a
recovery room.
