[A new ceiling microscope suspension for plastic and reconstructive microsurgery].
Since 1969, 168 microsurgical interfascicular nerve transplantations have been performed in the Department for Hand Surgery and Plastic Surgery in the Surgical Clinic of the University of Erlangen. Since the end of 1974, the Zeiss Operation Microscope OPMI 2 has been hung from an electrohydraulic ceiling suspension and has proved invaluable. The construction and function of the apparatus is described. Such suspension of the microscope in combination with original Hanau operation lights, facilitates microsurgery in hand and plastic surgical procedure by saving space, reducing operating time and providing a better opportunity of ensuring sterility in the operating field.
