From the reviews: This book provides valuable insight into the potential, limitations, and future applications of this technology. ... this book focuses solely on the microsurgery aspect, making it ideal for microsurgeons and supermicrosurgeons -- both experienced and inexperienced. ... This book is the first to address telemicrosurgery, and it provides valuable insights while sharing the experiences of some of the pioneers in this field and their take on the future of this technology.
