The development of experimental microsurgery can be considered the natural evolution of a diffuse need to increase precision in many fields of surgery. Microsurgery accelerated the possibility of deepening many unclear aspects of pathophysiology, using miniaturized and reproducible experimental models. We report briefly on the fundamental principles of microsurgery and the most frequently performed and useful models of experimental microsurgery, especially to employ as training models for surgeons, but also as bases for developing new and always‐welcome models. © 1998 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
