Review
The surgical principles and techniques used in ophthalmic microsurgery differ considerably from those used in general surgery. Successful ophthalmic microsurgery requires that the surgeon understand not only the design and complexities of the operating microscope, but how tissues are affected by minute manipulations with microsurgical instruments. Furthermore, ophthalmic microsurgery requires a detailed understanding of how microsurgical techniques need to be adjusted to accommodate the unique features of ocular tissues such as conjunctiva, cornea, and lens. A diligent effort to master the principles of ophthalmic microsurgery is probably the single most important prerequisite to becoming an accomplished ophthalmic surgeon.

Review
Microsurgical techniques have been used to perform a variety of urologic procedures. Basic microsurgical principles are discussed in this article and information is presented regarding instrumentation techniques and the operation of microscopes and microsurgical instruments. Many useful hints to increase the ease of performing microsurgery are discussed and clearly defined.

Review
This article summarizes the major changes seen in lymphatic microsurgery and microvascular surgery in first 20 years of the 21st century. Lymphatic microsurgery is discussed first, as more advances have been seen in imaging of the lymphatic system, lymphatico-venous anastomosis, and vascularized lymph node transfers. During the past 2 decades, there have been more patient population changes than major technical evolutions in microvascular surgery, although new techniques and modifications emerged and became clinical routines, with the landscape of microvascular surgery evolving in this time period.

This article traces some of the developments in the innovation of microsurgery since the first free flaps in the 1970s. French reconstructive surgeons contribution to microsurgery and composite tissue allotransplantation was particularly important. Robotic assisted microsurgery and microgravity represent some of the latest innovations.

Review
In the last decade surgical training is being revolutionized by two novel concepts that have been introduced to almost all branches of surgery including and most recently to microsurgery. These two concepts are: objective assessments of surgical skills and the nurturing of surgical skills in a simulation laboratory setting. Acquiring surgical skills in the laboratory setting can help move the microsurgical learning curve from the patient to the laboratory and this will in turn improve patient safety. In order to optimize microsurgical training through a competency based training programme, it is imperative for microsurgical educators to understand microsurgical skill acquisition. This requires accurate objective assessment tools that can define and quantify microsurgical competency. This article aims to review the current literature on the various objective assessment tools adapted for microsurgery and attempt to identify the gaps that need to be addressed by research in microsurgical education to establish the ideal objective assessment tool.

Review
Laboratory animals have been crucial to the development of modern microsurgical techniques which are now routinely used in many clinical departments worldwide. In return, microsurgical techniques are important in biomedical research as they allow many surgical procedures to be performed on rodents instead of dogs, pigs or primates. This has obvious advantages in terms of low cost, the use statistically valid numbers for comparison and the availability of genetically defined animals which are more likely to give valid answers to immunological questions. Microsurgical reconstruction is important in plastic, orthopaedic, urogenital, vascular and peripheral nerve surgery in man and it is likely that it will become part of every surgeon's training in the near future. In this review, the instrumentation essential to any microsurgical enterprise and the sutures available are described. Basic microsurgical techniques for end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis of small vessels and for joining peripheral nerves, oviducts and other tubular structures are given in outline. Techniques for transplanting kidney, heart, heart and lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, small bowel, stomach, testicle, ovary and whole joint are only outlined but key references are given. Finally, some of the clinical indications for microsurgical reconstruction are reviewed.
