Since the first successful digit replantation in Japan in 1965, the
field of microvascular surgery has rapidly progressed throughout Japan
and the world. Experimental and Clinical Reconstructive Microsurgery
draws on the experience of a large number of experts in the areas of
experimental microsurgery, limb and digit replantation, and composite
tissue transplantation. The result is an extensive monograph covering
the history and future prospects of microsurgery, essential
microsurgical techniques for laboratory research, and the fundamental
methods of harvesting tissues and their grafting techniques. Because the
field of microsurgery includes a broad range of clinical disciplines,
this book is a valuable resource to all orthopedic, traumatic, and
plastic surgeons with an interest in microsurgery.
