Area of Science:

  • Surgical training and simulation
  • Microsurgery techniques
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Microsurgical instruments and magnification (optical loupe or microscope) are crucial for high-precision procedures, especially in pediatric surgery.
  • Developing proficiency in microsurgical instrument handling is essential for surgical trainees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and provide templates for a low-fidelity practice platform for microsurgical training.
  • To systematically improve the microsurgical skills of both junior and advanced surgical trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a two-part training course.
  • Part 1: A practice platform with six low-fidelity, inanimate exercises.
  • Each exercise focuses on specific instrument handling skills required for microsurgery.

Main Results:

  • The practice platform provides a systematic and efficient method for skill development.
  • Templates for exercises are provided for easy implementation.
  • The platform targets essential aspects of microsurgical instrument handling.

Conclusions:

  • The described low-fidelity practice platform is an effective tool for enhancing microsurgical skills.
  • This training approach can benefit surgical trainees across various disciplines, particularly those involving pediatric patients.
  • Mastery of basic instrument handling through simulation is key to successful microsurgery.
