First Microvascular surgery unit was started under the guidance of Dr D C Srivastava. Unit was equipped with Specialized Microscope & loops from Zeiss, micro drills & instruments. He is instrumental in performing successfully, first re implantation of severed hand.
It is difficult to determine the first microvascular surgery unit, as microvascular surgery is a relatively new specialty within the field of surgery. Microvascular surgery involves the use of specialized instruments and techniques to repair and reconstruct small blood vessels and nerves, typically using a microscope or other magnification device. Microvascular surgery is often used to repair damaged or diseased blood vessels in the face, hands, and feet, and it is also used in reconstructive surgery, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Microvascular surgery units are specialized areas within hospitals or clinics that are dedicated to the care of patients who require microvascular surgery. These units may have specialized equipment, such as microscopes and microsurgical instruments, and staff who are trained in the use of these tools and techniques. It is likely that the first microvascular surgery unit was established sometime in the late 20th century or early 21st century, as the development of microvascular surgery and the availability of specialized equipment and techniques increased during this time.
