I just watched a video about the surgical repair of truncus arteriosus (Mindblowing by the way) and was wondering why isn't microsurgery really a thing in paediatric cardiac surgery (As far as I know). In the video I watched you could tell that the babie's heart wasn't bigger than a couple of the surgeon's fingers, and even though I know they are using loupes the field is so small that it seems to me a microscope would come in handy.
