For many years, the operative manipulation of the most minute
struc- tures was frustrated by the limitations of the human eye.
With the introduction of the operating microscope by Nylen (1921),
fine detailed anatomy was made visible, so that structures could be
prepared, pre- sented and manipulated. Nylen used the microscope
for treating dis- eases of the middle ear. In 1946 Perrit in the U.
S. A. introduced the operating microscope into the field of
ophthalmic surgery. In 1964, Smith, Kunze and Mitchen published
reports on their clinical experi- ence using the operating
microscope in nerve surgery. Using this tech- nique, it was
possible to divide a peripheral nerve into individual fascicle
bundles and reapir each bundle precisely. Following on from these
developments, the term" microsurgery" was introduced to cover that
branch of surgery which was carried out using the" equiped" eye -
either by using 10upe spectacle magnifica- tion or, more commonly,
the operating microscope. The term "micro- vascular surgery"
developed for the operative treatment of small ves- sels below 2 mm
in diameter. Experimental studies for the use of microsurgery in
the clinical situation developed alongside its use on small
research animals for transplantation models in immunological study.
Microsurgical techniques were used in the transplantation of rat
liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart and other organs. The clinical
appli- cation of these microsurgical techniques is nowadays called
"recon- structive microvascular surgery".
