Background Many studies are investigating the role of living and nonliving models to train
microsurgeons. There is controversy around which modalities account for the best …

Technical advances in microsurgery have enabled complex oncological reconstructions by
performing free tissue transfers, nerve and lymphatic reconstructions. However, the manual …

Background: Microsurgery has a steep learning curve. Synthetic simulators have proven to
be useful training tools for the initial learning stages, as well as being ethically sound, viable …

Background Microsurgery allows complex reconstruction of tissue defects after oncological
resections or severe trauma. Performing these procedures may be limited by human tremor …

In microsurgical procedures, surgeons use micro-instruments under high magnifications to
handle delicate tissues. These procedures require highly skilled attentional and motor …

Background Microsurgery requires repeated practice and training to achieve proficiency,
and there are a variety of curriculums available. This study aims to determine the importance …

Background Microsurgical techniques have a steep learning curve. We adapted validated
surgical approaches to develop a novel, competency-based microsurgical simulation …

Background Repetitive training is essential for microsurgical performance. This study aimed
to compare the improvement in basic microsurgical skills using two learning methods …

Background Microsurgery depends largely on simulated training to acquire skills. Courses
offered worldwide are usually short and intensive and depend on a physical laboratory. Our …

Background: classical models of microsurgical anastomosis training are expensive and
have ethical implications. Some alternatives join low cost and easiness to store. However …
