    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Innovation
    • Laboratory Animal Science
    • Microscopy Engineering

    Background:

    • Microsurgery requires specialized equipment for precision and stability.
    • Existing setups may lack the integrated functionality for advanced microsurgical practice.
    • Small laboratory animals are crucial models for surgical technique development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop an integrated operating table stand for stereomicroscope-guided microsurgery.
    • To enhance the capabilities for microsurgical experiments and training.
    • To provide a stable and adaptable platform for microsurgical procedures on small animals.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed an operating table stand with a rotatable mechanical surface.
    • Integrated a motorized focusing stage carrier for precise adjustments.
    • Adapted the system for use with standard stereomicroscopes.

    Main Results:

    • The developed operating table stand offers a stable platform for microsurgical tasks.
    • The motorized focusing stage allows for accurate and repeatable adjustments.
    • The system is suitable for both experimental microsurgery and skill acquisition.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel operating table stand effectively supports microsurgical applications in small laboratory animals.
    • This equipment can advance the practice and research of microsurgical techniques.
    • The integrated design improves accessibility and efficiency in microsurgical training.
