    Main Methods:

    • Review of microsurgical instrumentation and suture materials.
    • Description of fundamental techniques for microsurgical reconstruction of tubular structures.
    • Outline of established organ and tissue transplantation procedures using microsurgery.

    Main Results:

    • Essential microsurgical instruments and suture types are detailed.
    • Basic techniques for end-to-end and end-to-side vessel anastomosis are presented.
    • Key references for microsurgical transplantation of various organs and tissues are provided.

    Conclusions:

    • Microsurgical techniques are integral to plastic, orthopedic, urogenital, vascular, and nerve surgery.
    • The review provides a foundational understanding of microsurgical principles and applications.
    • Microsurgery is expected to become a core component of surgical training globally.
