Abstract

It is a certainty that a microsurgical lab will make a significant contribution to a university hospital, through which microsurgical techniques might be improved for microsurgeons and scientific research can be performed in experimental surgery. Therefore, it is of great importance in knowledge of the laboratory facilities and microsurgical instruments before surgical practice starts. To better understanding physical objects, specific illustrations are provided to make the learning clear. With respect to laboratory facilities, operation room is routinely located close to the animal care facility, which is preferentially equipped with a closet (storing materials) and a sink (washing the instruments). Establishment of such a laboratory should have the permission by the ethic commission of the hospital or university and apply for a registration in the government. Before animal training or experiments, a necessary reminder that all protocols should be proved by the institutional review committees according to the animal protection rules should be taken (Martins and Montero 2006).
