Area of Science:

  • Surgical techniques
  • Microsurgery education
  • Experimental surgical models

Background:

  • Microsurgery requires extensive practice to develop essential skills.
  • Access to specialized training models can be limited or costly.
  • Standard operating room materials are often underutilized for training purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a cost-effective and accessible experimental model for microsurgery practice.
  • To provide a method for constructing practice tubes of varying diameters for anastomosis training.
  • To facilitate the learning of end-to-end and end-to-side anastomoses.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an experimental model using materials commonly found in operating theatres.
  • Utilization of the mathematical formula C = π x D to determine tube dimensions.

  • Construction of tubes suitable for practicing both end-to-end and end-to-side vascular anastomoses.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional and reproducible experimental model for microsurgery practice was established.
    • The mathematical formula allowed for precise construction of tubes with desired diameters.
    • The model effectively simulates the conditions for practicing various types of vascular anastomoses.

    Conclusions:

    • This experimental model offers a practical and economical solution for microsurgery training.
    • The use of a simple formula enhances the versatility of the training model.
    • The model supports the development of critical microsurgical skills in a realistic setting.
