โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

At present, the smallest needle commonly available is about 130 ฮผm in diameter in combination with a suture of about 25 ฮผm in diameter. Marked reductions in size, particularly of the needle, are advantageous for microvascular surgery.

A needle of about 70 ฮผm in diameter, welded to a suture of about 18 ฮผm diameter, has been developed. In initial tests, it has performed satisfactorily in the repair of the carotid artery of the white rat. It is shown that the basic properties of materials severely limit further reductions in the size of needles and sutures.

In 1965, during my third year of residency in National Taiwan University Hospital, I worked with Professor Kuo Yun Hsu to perform a dog hind limb replantation. The anoxia time was about 2 hours. Of 11 dogs, only 2 had successful replantations. Our surgical technique was as follows: The limb was div

Patient comorbities, a patient's age and weight, the experience of the surgeon, and state of current vascular access are all factors used in determining the employment of microsurgical techniques to create or salvage an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to provi

Suturing performance was assessed for 13 novice microsurgeons throughout a 4-5 day microsurgical training course. Time to complete a suture (from needle insertion to completion of tie-off) was assessed on a standardized suture task, for two sutures at the beginning and end of each training day. For
