Implications for the Infrastructures of Plastic Surgery

Microsurgical techniques have changed the definition and the standards of reconstruction in areas throughout the practice of plastic surgery. These contributions can be recognized clearly by examining the changes microsurgery has effected in classic problems with long histories of strategy development initially based on conventional techniques. 39 In thumb reconstruction, a century of
