Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Surgical Education

Background:

Microvascular surgery requires extensive practice to master complex techniques.
Developing efficient training models is crucial for surgical skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish an experimental model for independent study in microvascular suture techniques.
To assess the efficacy of a retraining model for permanent staff in microvascular anastomosis.

Main Methods:

Utilized Wistar rats (200-500g) for surgical practice.
Isolated and transected femoral arteries and veins for anastomosis.
Performed various microvascular anastomoses including terminoterminal, terminolateral, and grafts.
Evaluated vascular patency to assess anastomosis success.

Main Results:

Demonstrated successful terminoterminal arterial and venous anastomoses.
Noted average femoral vessel diameters suitable for microvascular practice (vein: 0.8-2mm, artery: 0.6-1.4mm).
Highlighted the superficial location of femoral vessels facilitating dissection.

Conclusions:

The developed independent study model enables effective retraining in microvascular suture skills.
This model is suitable for training permanent staff in microvascular anastomosis.
