Technical note demonstrates improved intraoperative vessel management with a new microprobe, suggesting broader surgical applications.
The double-faced microprobe allows both retraction and displacement of offending vessels, improving intraoperative maneuverability in selected situations. Within the limits of this study, the SWAN probe appears to be a safe and useful adjunct for MVD and may have broader applicability in microsurgery.
