Microsurgery

surgery using operating microscopes and miniaturized precision instruments to perform intricate procedures on very small structures

Examples

1. Possible applications at this scale include microassembly, micromanipulation, and tremor cancellation in microsurgery.

2. From those designs, scientists performed microsurgery to poke, prod, and shape the stem cells according to the algorithm.

3. At the end of two years of work, only six of Mangold’s embryos survived the microsurgeries to make it into the publication.

4. However, this technique requires microsurgery expertise and therefore is not offered by many surgeons.
