BACKGROUND: The physiologic tremor may cause difficulties in microsurgery, in spite of using armrest. The new (robot hand) technique consists of the I-III finger support, which holds the instruments on Bethlehem (ANDAN BT, Budapest, Hungary) bridge above the operation area, which reduces the tremor at the end of the instruments. METHODS: Exact measurement of tremor reduction was performed. Last year, 23 microsurgical cases were operated on by the robot hand technique. RESULTS: The tremors of the operating hand and the number of complications have decreased effectively. CONCLUSION: By this technique, the microsurgical work has become more precise.
