Experimental models in microsurgery

The development of experimental microsurgery can be considered the natural evolution of a diffuse need to increase precision in many fields of surgery . Microsurgery accelerated the possibility of deepening many unclear aspect s of pathophysiology, using miniaturized and reproducible experimental mode ls. We report briefly on the fundamental principles of microsurgery and the most frequently performed and useful models of experimental microsurgery, especially to employ as training models for surgeons, but also as bases for developing new and always-welcome models.
