INTRODUCTION: With microsurgical operations one of the main risk factors is physiological tremor. To reduce it, microsurgeons usually fix their forearms and hands up to the fingertips IV-V. on supporting desks (armrests), and on the bone (skull) and skin being operated on. AIM: To improve further microsurgical technique which reduce the tremor. METHODS: The new technique gives microsurgeons support for fingertips I. II. and III. due to the "Bethlehem bridge" that can be placed quite close to the site of operation. RESULTS: An approximately tenfold reduction of tremor can be achieved due to the fixation of the crucial I. II. and III. fingertips, which hold the operating instruments. CONCLUSION: The microsurgical operations could be performed at higher precision level.
