Microsurgery in microgravity is possible.

Abstract:

:The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the feasibility of a microsurgical procedure in the context of microgravity during parabolic flights. The surgical procedure included the sectioning and repair of a rat sciatic nerve and tail artery with 10/0 monofilament sutures. Both procedures were successful. To date, telesurgery cannot be considered during interplanetary spaceflights. If a surgeon is able to perform microsurgery in microgravity, a physician with basic surgery training will be able to perform basic surgical procedures in space flights.
