Microsurgical Reconstruction Suture Techniques

Re-suture of blood vessels and peripheral nerves belongs to microsurgery category, i.e., it belongs to various surgical procedures performed by surgeons under the surgical microscope. In 1921, Swedish otologists Nylen and Holmagren first completed the operation on the inner ear using a microscope. Later, surgeons at home and abroad extended the microsurgery techniques to all fields of surgery, and the suture of blood vessels and peripheral nerves is the foundation and key to the success of most microsurgeries. This chapter will discuss, respectively, the technical requirements for microsurgery repair, the suture of blood vessels, and the nerve reconstruction suture separately.
