Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The use of mechanical support for scissors during microsurgery reduces tremor and improves the surgeon's efficiency. Rotation of such a pair of mechanically supported scissors presents further improvements as it permits the surgeon to cut in all directions while reducing the need for time-consuming instrument transfers. Thus, one pair of scissors can be kept within the field and rotated to the required orientation for cutting.
