The Microsurgical Research Center has been a leading pioneer in the field of Reconstructive Microsurgery since 1981. It is a multifunctional clinical and research laboratory where specimens are processed from both clinical operations and experimental protocols. We use state of the art methods to freeze tissues and obtain pathologic reports in as little as three hours. Special histochemistry procedures used allow us to differentiate sensory from motor bundles prior to nerve repair. |
| Numerous publications have resulted from
our work in our experimental protocols ranging from testing new neurotrophins to
enhancing peripheral nerve regeneration, to developing revolutionary microsurgical
techniques. Our laboratory will continue to pave the way into the future in the field
of restorative neuroscience. Our continuous goal is to keep improving the results and the prognosis in patients with devastating nerve injuries. |
