MICROSURGERY

Since 1965 The Micosurgical Transplantation Research Foundation has supported ground breaking research for the advancement of reconstructive surgery. By encouraging both research in microsugery and training of microsugeons, the foundation has directly and indirectly contributed to many advances in restorative medicine:


Support for Research

In 1957, Dr. Harry J. Buncke was inspired by Mr. Thomas Gibson to develop techniques for transplanting blocks of tissue on small vessels of 1 millimeter. Seven years later in March of 1964, he reported the first successful rabbit ear replantation to the Plastic Surgical Research Council meeting. Special micro instruments, sutures and hand-made needles needed to be developed to perform these procedures. Reimplantation of fingers was a dream. Surgeons needed to be trained. The Microsurgical Transplantation Research Foundation was founded to support this dream.

It is within this tradition and with Harry Buncke's inspiration that the foundation continues our mission to advance the science of microsurgery and to train residents and fellows from around the country and the world.  With the generous support of many benefactors, the foundation dedicates resources to the health and well being through microsurgical research and training.

Support for Training

More than 200 clinical fellows and fifty four research fellows have been supported in part by the foundation. More than twenty-seven have subsequently become department chairmen or co-chairmen. Over 400 articles, books, and chapters have been published that have been supported in whole, or in part, by the Microsurgical Transplantation Research Foundation..
