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
Microsurgery".

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.
