This study details a 15-year microsurgery educational method for medical students and professionals. The Furka method uses activity, video-assistance, and hands-on practice, including animal models, for effective microsurgical skills development.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Microsurgery Training
  • Medical Pedagogy

Background:

  • Microsurgery requires specialized training.
  • Existing educational methods may lack comprehensive skill development.
  • A structured approach is needed for effective microsurgical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a 15-year validated educational experience in microsurgery.
  • To describe the Furka microsurgical educational method.
  • To outline the curriculum and pedagogical approach for diverse learner groups.

Main Methods:

  • The Furka method is a 20-hour program across five sessions.
  • Key features include activity, synchronism, video-assistance, self-control, individualization, and analysis.
  • Training progresses from instrument familiarization to animal model practice.

Main Results:

  • The method caters to medical students, researchers, and specialists.
  • Practical sessions include instrument handling, suturing, and arterial anastomosis.
  • The final session involves live animal practice (rats) for advanced skill refinement.

Conclusions:

  • Effective microsurgery teaching requires patience and empathy.
  • A low student-to-teacher ratio (1:2) optimizes the learning process.
  • The Furka method provides a comprehensive and progressive approach to microsurgical education.
