Microsurgery: directions for the 1990s.
Speculating on the possible advances of microsurgery in the 1990s has encompassed discussion of transplantation technique, biochemistry, monitoring, and nerve and motor reconstruction. This article, however, is by no means exhaustive, and many other discoveries and innovations may come from areas not discussed here. The only clearly incorrect possibility concerning microsurgery in the 1990s is that nothing exciting will happen.
