Basic microsurgery training is shifting to simulation environments due to cost and patient safety concerns. This paper reviews skill acquisition frameworks and analyzes microsurgery course costs for global training dissemination.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Microsurgery Training
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Microsurgery is integral to many surgical fields, necessitating effective training.
  • Traditional 5-day microsurgery courses face challenges from financial constraints and patient safety demands.
  • A shift towards simulation environments for microsurgical skill acquisition is evident.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the stepwise framework for microsurgical skill acquisition.
  • To provide a cost analysis of traditional basic microsurgery courses.
  • To aid in the planning and global dissemination of microsurgical training.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of microsurgical skill acquisition frameworks.
  • Cost analysis of established basic microsurgery courses.
