Department of Orthopaedics
The microsurgery lab has two operating microscopes and has a dedicated microsurgical technician who has years of experience teaching residents and faculty how to perform these delicate procedures. Basic and advanced microsurgical techniques (arterial anastomosis, venous anastomosis and neural anastomosis) are taught. The lab is also used for basic science research. There is currently a project being conducted that involves repairing a rat femur fracture using a K-wire as an intramedullary nail. Because of the small size of the operative field, use of the operating microscope is required. |
