Reconstructive microvascular surgery is now in its teens. At first
many thought this new child was a whim and would fail to thrive.
Some were un certain, others with vision either supported or became
actively involved in this new area of surgical endeavour. Although
initial interest was focused on the replantation of amputated
parts, it has been the one stage free trans fer of living tissue to
a distant site which has launched microsurgery into the surgical
spotlight. From its humble beginnings we have witnessed a
revolution in this branch of plastic surgery; many of the long
established methods of recon struction have, like barricades,
fallen before the advances made in this field. In its infancy there
were relatively few procedures available. There was a tendency to
make the patient's problem fit the operation, rather than the
reverse, and this frequently led to an inferior result. The then
known flaps, such as the groin flap and the deltopectoral flap,
were employed. Unfortunately they were sites which posed many
technical problems; namely those of vascular anomaly, a short
pedicle and vessels of small cal ibre. Long operations were the
norm, and vascular thrombosis was not un common. Hospital routine
often was disrupted and there was a danger that these new
techniques would fall into disrepute. Over the last decade this
state of affairs has changed dramatically.
