  • Abstract
    Microsurgery is a specialized technical discipline in surgical clinics; microsurgical strategies and performances are dedicated to solve clinical and surgical complex problems, working on conductive structures or on compartmentalized miniaturized organs and structures; the working conditions in which microsurgery is applied requires more sophisticated approaches in the classical tool action-tissue reaction response loop. Microtechnologies permit to develop more promising microtechniques, but their application or their efficacy in the microsurgical field is not so obvious or trivial. The target-oriented surgical strategies can help to focus the microtechnical goals, design and configuration for a valuable performance in the surgical theatre. Microtechnologies and microtechniques must be introduced in microsurgery in harmony with the new strategies of minimally invasive and micro-invasive, control system, computer-assisted, driven procedures. Microsurgeons can make easy microtechniques, evaluating cost-benefit in the health-care clinical platform, orienting the technological investments and the research projects of specific technical solutions.
