The History of Microsurgery

  • Chapter
Experimental and Clinical Reconstructive Microsurgery

Abstract

Paré (1552) [1] described the first vascular ligature, and in 1759 Hallowell [2] repaired a wound in the brachial artery by thrusting a pin through the margins of the wound and tying a thread around it. In 1820, Jones [3] studied the healing process in vascular injuries in animals and stressed the importance of neointima, which had regenerated at the suture site. In 1877, Eck [4] performed his well-known portacaval shunt operation for portal hypertension.
