Avulsed skin provides a valuable source of vessels for microvascular surgical training. This tissue can be refrigerated for later use, enhancing training flexibility.

Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Vascular Surgery Training

Background:

  • Microvascular techniques require consistent practice for skill development.
  • Access to suitable vascular tissue is crucial for surgical trainees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate avulsed skin as a readily available resource for practicing microvascular techniques.
  • To determine the feasibility of storing avulsed skin for delayed use in training.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing avulsed skin as a source of vessels.
  • Implementing standard microvascular dissection and anastomosis procedures.
  • Assessing the viability and usability of refrigerated avulsed skin specimens.

Main Results:

  • Avulsed skin contains adequate vessels for practicing microvascular anastomoses.

  • Refrigerated avulsed skin remains suitable for microvascular training for a specified period.
  • Trainees successfully practiced essential microvascular skills using this tissue source.

    • Conclusions:

    • Avulsed skin is a practical and accessible biomaterial for microvascular surgical education.
    • Short-term refrigeration preserves the utility of avulsed skin for training purposes.
    • This method offers a flexible and cost-effective approach to enhance surgical skills acquisition.
