Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Simulation is fundamental to modern microsurgical training.
  • Various simulation models exist, but their complexity and assessment methods require analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To categorize microsurgical simulation models by skill complexity.
  • To analyze common assessment methods in microsurgical simulation training.

Main Methods:

  • Categorization of simulation models based on skill complexity (basic, intermediate, advanced).
  • Analysis of assessment methods, including subjective opinions, questionnaires, and validated rating scales.

Main Results:

  • Simulation models can be classified by the complexity of microsurgical skills they teach.
