Upgradation of Lymph Supermicrosurgical Skills through Lymphatic Venous Anastomosis
Supermicrosurgery, a technique involving the dissection and anastomosis of small vessels, has revolutionized the field of lymphedema treatment. However, in a lymphatic venous anastomosis, an arduous technique is required to manipulate the 0.1-0.8-mm ...
