Popis:	Microvascular techniques and instrumentation have continually evolved since the advent of clinical microsurgery in the 1970’s. These refinements and improved patient selection have led to increased vessel patency and flap survival rates. However, a fundamental principle which has not changed over this time period is comfort and proper operating microscope set-up. Both these factors were described as a precondition of microsurgical success by the late pioneer of microsurgery himself, Robert Acland. Suboptimal comfort or set-up can negatively impact on access to the surgical field leading to improper technique and if significant enough, anastomotic thrombosis. We describe a new technique aimed at improving wall access when using double clamps for microsurgical anastomosis.
