The Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre, (JUMISC), in Cáceres, is an institution dedicated to the training and research of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
The JUMISC organises an extensive program of education and training in various disciplines for resident medical and surgical doctors, nurses, veterinarians, doctors and surgeons and other health professionals
The research that takes place in the JUMISC is aimed at carrying out studies, comparing minimally invasive surgical procedures with traditional surgical techniques, with a special emphasis on applied research

|
The activity of the Microsurgery Unit is based on the research and teaching of Microsurgery applied in different specialties (Digital and Traumatology at reintroduction of Members, Vascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, urology, Ophthalmology, Reconstructive Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Dentistry, and Oral Surgery Maxillofacial), using a system pioneered and advanced in education, that we call: "Multipost System for the teaching of
PROJECTS
The unit works in microsurgery research in various specialties, with a special emphasis being placed on microsurgery vascular and nerve and microsurgery applied to ophthalmology. It is remarkable, globally, the pioneering work in the line of research that studies the behaviour of titanium clips: Vascular Closure staples (VCS) in growing vessels, compared with different types and suture techniques used in vascular surgery, application in paediatric vascular surgery, in the case of transplants and reconstructions vascular injury in children.
Other lines of research relate to the field of Ophthalmology and new techniques of corneal remodelling (crosslinking and corneal rings).
Research has allowed technology transfer through utility model patents and systems and devices related to the improvement in the training of microsurgical techniques in different specialties.
Similarly knowledge transfer is made possible through the organisation of unprogrammed teaching in various specialties requiring the use of microsurgical techniques.
