First Experience of the International Microsurgery Journal Club through Facebook Live

Abstract

We would like to thank for the opportunity to have participated in the first International Microsurgery Journal Club of Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery (IMC-JRM), as authors of the article selected for discussion.
