Right-angle microprisms inserted into the mouse neocortex allows for deep imaging of multiple cortical layers with a viewpoint typically found in slice. One-millimeter microprisms offer a wide field-of-view (~900 μm) and spatial resolutions sufficient to resolve dendritic spines. We demonstrate layer V neuronal imaging and neocortical vascular imaging using microprisms.

This protocol presents a step-by-step instruction for harvesting the superficial inferior epigastric artery fascia (SIEF) flap and wrapping it around the reconstructed peroneal nerve defect in rabbits. This surgical addition of vascularization to the tissue bed of nerve grafts is used to improve regeneration outcomes.

This article presents a method for measuring the working abdominal volume during laproscopic myomectomy using the surgical grasper, and applies this technique to obtain pilot data on whether deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) can enable the use of lower insufflation pressure. Reduced insufflation pressure during laproscopic surgery has been shown to reduce post-operative pain, and thus the use of NMB during surgery may enable improved patient outcomes.

FAQs
The collagen fibers are arranged to resist tension, allowing deep fascia to contribute to force transmission between connected tissues. This organization helps explain how muscular forces may influence neighboring structures rather than acting in isolation. In biological and biomechanical research, examining fiber arrangement provides context for understanding tissue support, coordinated movement, and changes in mechanical behavior after injury.
Intermuscular planes and compartments organize neighboring muscles and other structures while permitting controlled movement between them. This arrangement supports tissue coordination without requiring every structure to move as a single unit. Studying these spaces helps researchers interpret how anatomical organization influences mobility, mechanical relationships, and the effects of altered tissue conditions.
Because fascial tissues form continuous anatomical pathways, changes associated with inflammation or injury may be considered in relation to connected regions rather than only the original site. Compartments can also affect local pressure, making fascial organization relevant to biological responses and clinical assessment. This perspective helps link tissue continuity with symptom patterns, structural disruption, and recovery.
Imaging can support evaluation of fascial anatomy and its relationships with muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. It is particularly relevant when researchers or clinicians need to consider tissue organization, continuity, compartment pressure, or changes following trauma. These observations can complement anatomical and clinical assessments without treating fascia as an isolated structure.
Deep fascia provides an anatomical framework for examining how forces are transmitted through connected tissues and how adjacent structures move relative to one another. In rehabilitation research, this framework can help relate tissue organization to movement, pain, and recovery after injury. Considering fascial continuity may therefore broaden analysis beyond individual muscles or localized abnormalities.
Fascial planes and compartments provide important anatomical context for surgical planning and for interpreting tissue disruption after trauma. Their relationships with muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and bones can influence how injury or intervention affects surrounding structures. Clinical research uses this organization to consider movement, compartment pressure, pain, and recovery during subsequent assessment and care.
