[Instruments in microsurgery (author's transl)].

Instruments are at the basis of microsurgery. An operating microscope is the main element and the most important and expensive thing to buy. Yet it is possible to begin with a simple microscope as the ZEISS OMPI 1, or its copy by BAG. Five or six intruments are necessary except irrigation set up, clamps, bipolar coagulation. Suture material will be selected for each times. Microsurgery demands an important training before applying it in the operating room. A good operating position will also be required in order to perform efficiently.
