Abstract
Although the operating microscope was a must to perform microsurgery we have tried to find new type equipmenlt which may be less invasive cheaper in price smaller in size more portable sterilizable already present in many of the surgical departments and also valid for performing microsurgery It was the surgical endoscope by which we started to investigate the possibility to experience the skill of microsurgery Of great importance is that the acceptance of this new technique will financially allow microsurgery to be performed in hospitals unable to afford the expensive microscopes but already having the investment in less costly and more readily available endoscopic equipment In this project we have tried to perform vascular microsurgical anastomoses in many of the freeflap cases The microsurgical anastomoses were possible easy within a reasonable time with good visualization In the same terms it is a new indication of the use of endoscopy and its interesting mode of operating and also a new method for the microsurgical performance providing the needed clear vision without the problems of looking through the ocular pieces of a loupe or a microscope
