Abstract
The introduction of reconstructive microsurgery has meant not only the addition of microsurgical microscopes and instruments, but a change, an advance, towards a new idea, the concept of the microsurgical reconstruction of tissues. The microscope and the instruments themselves are only a means of utilizing to good effect this new concept since the mere use of the microscope and of the instruments according to the old concept of the reconstruction of tissues cannot be considered to be reconstructive microsurgery.
