77th ASSH Annual Meeting - Back to Basics: Practice and Education-IC33: Replant and Robotics: Basic and Advanced Techniques in Microsurgery (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript provides a summary of a video presentation on microsurgery techniques. The speaker mentions that while their colleagues from Japan were unable to attend in person, they have sent videos of their recorded presentations. The first video discusses anastomosis techniques for vessels around one millimeter in size. The speaker explains how to perform an end to side anastomosis when it is not possible to flip up the vessel. They demonstrate a technique using sutures and emphasize the importance of starting with the non-dominant hand and ending with the dominant hand. The second video discusses nerve repair techniques, emphasizing the importance of providing the best possible environment for neural repair. The speaker discusses the three key components affecting functional recovery: time to repair, alignment of healthy axons, and atraumatic tensionless approximation. They also discuss techniques for assessing and alleviating tension during nerve repair. The third video focuses on super microsurgery techniques, including lymph bypass, fingertip replantation, perforator-to-perforator flap, nerve flap, and robotic surgery. The speaker demonstrates the use of a 12-0 needle to perform a 0.2-millimeter lymphatic anastomosis. They also discuss the concept of the Orochee flap, which involves combining multiple tissue transfers based on one donor artery. The speaker concludes by mentioning the establishment of a Next Generation Super Microsurgery Consortium for further collaboration and discussion.
