[Reconstructive microsurgery].

Progress in microsurgery has been accomplished by the technical improvements of the operative microscope and other delicate surgical instruments. Therefore, even small arteries as well as female tuba and male deferens, either presenting mechanical obstruction or a section, can be reconstructed. The same procedure may be applied in case of nerve injuries. Since Microsurgery was born, it has been employed in different medical fields offering lately good chances in sterility. Furthermore, microsurgical techniques offer a great support to Plastic Surgery. In fact, it is possible to repair wide tissue damages of the skin, muscles or bones using free flaps. The percentage of success of this Surgery increased the overall percentage obtained in General Surgery. Therefore a close multidisciplinary relation between the different Medical fields is absolutely required for a correct application of microsurgical techniques.

[Microsurgery in gynecology. 8 years' clinical activity].

A series of 110 patients given surgical treatment for "mechanical infertility of varying origin in 1980-88 is examined". The classification system proposed for the microsurgical procedures available is based both on personal experience and on the classification of the causes of mechanical infertility in women according to aetiopathogenesis. Clinical results are judged in terms of pregnancies achieved and suggest that while adhesiotomy, salpyngostomy, t-t tubal anastomosis and cornual reimplantation are all useful, fimbrioplasty is less likely to give good results, particularly in the long term. Finally the links between gynaecological microsurgery and F.I.V.E.T. and G.I.F.T. are analysed.

Reversal of sterilization by microsurgical technique.

Tubal sterilization techniques that spare the fimbriae and cause the least amount of tubal destruction offer the best chance for reversal of sterilization. Patients seeking reversal of sterilization should be carefully selected. Surgical technique and equipment are important factors in reversal procedures; microsurgical techniques are shown to be more effective than macroscopic techniques.
