Since the advent of microsurgery, there has always been a need for a systematic presentation of relevant anatomical biometry. In view of this urgent demand, this monograph has been compiled on the basis of recent research done by Chinese colleagues in the fields of microsurgery and related anatomical sciences from more than fourteen medical colleges in the hope of providing a complete set of anatomical data covering most areas of modern microsurgery. This volume presents thirteen chapters dealing with the applied anatomy of free skin flap, muscle, bone and omental grafting and of intestinal and small organ transplantation including reconstruction of the thumb using toes. Space is also devoted to the microsurgical anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems, the lymphatic system and the middle ear. To help under standing, 212 illustrations, involving 21 photographic plates, are included. The authors are particularly indebted to Professors He Guangchi and Zhao Minxue for their valuable suggestions and revision of the manuscript, and also to the late Professor Yang Dongyue for his personal contribution in the field of microsurgery and everlasting inspiration. The authors also wish to express their gratitude to the publishers for their great enthusiasm in producing this first edition.
