『Positive Spiral in Surgical Techniques and Equipment:
Experimental Microsurgery』

Surgery has seen advancements such as robotic surgery, yet surgical manipulation with fingertip precision akin to microsurgery remains crucial. Moreover, experimental microsurgery is essential for creating small animal models in research. This presentation aims to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills relevant to both fundamental and clinical aspects through experimental microsurgery.
Microscopy has a history dating back to the 1800s, with its introduction into clinical surgery occurring in the mid-1900s. During this period, digital imaging technology made significant strides, evolving into superimposed images 1). Techniques for directly observing the surgical field have been applied to digitally visualize mirror-view surgeries using endoscopic and energy devices, and similarly, "Head up" surgeries performed while viewing digital images during microscopic surgery have begun to gain popularity 2). Concurrently, robotic surgery techniques, where surgical instruments are operated remotely by robots, have been introduced in microsurgery 3), prompting a reassessment of the costs and benefits compared to conventional techniques across various clinical fields 4).
It is hoped that the knowledge and skills gained through experimental microsurgery will prove beneficial for the future generation of young surgeons and researchers.
