Abstract
Surgical opportunism is the exploitation of circumstances at the time of surgery which will maximize the ultimate functional result. This may be an imaginative original application of surgery and regularly demands a degree of lateral thinking to visualize the opportunity. It involves particularly the careful appraisal of all damaged or amputated tissues and assessment as to their potential usefulness. Microvascular anastomosis greatly broadens the scope of opportunism in emergency hand surgery.
