Precision is essential in oncological reconstructive surgery, in particular when it relies on free flap techniques. Microsurgical microscopes provide optimal visualization and help streamline the surgical workflow, without interruptions, to ensure successful reconstruction and avoid complications.

Interview Key Highlights

According to Dr. Chatel, the Leica M530 OHX surgical microscope provides numerous benefits for oncological reconstructive surgery and free flap procedures. It is:

  • Stable: making it possible to move around freely
  • Ergonomic: helping the surgeon feel comfortable during the procedure and saving space in the Operating Room (OR)
  • Easy to use: allowing simple set-up, based on pre-configured settings

Dr. Chatel points out that, with the Leica M530 OHX surgical microscope, the surgeon has a wide field of view throughout the procedure. There is no need to move or reposition the camera, even with a large flap. The focus and zoom perfectly meet the needs of flap surgery, providing a sharp and bright image. In addition, the smart illumination features automatically optimize light intensity, while protecting patient skin and tissue.
