Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Microsurgery Techniques

Background:

  • Traditional microsurgery training in France involves lengthy courses (mean 100 hours) spread over months.
  • Extended training periods pose challenges for consistent supervision and skill retention.
  • Concerns exist regarding course viability due to funding and animal welfare regulations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a condensed microsurgery training module.
  • To assess skill acquisition and knowledge consolidation within a shorter timeframe.
  • To determine if a concentrated learning approach can overcome challenges in traditional microsurgery education.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a 2-week module with nine 4-hour sessions (36 hours total).
  • Provided continuous supervision for small groups of students (10 students in 2 groups).
  • Utilized end-of-session questionnaires for student and teacher assessments.

Main Results:

  • Student scores significantly improved from session 3 to session 9 (mean 23.9 to 26.9 out of 30).
  • Initial skill level differences among students diminished, with all groups achieving comparable levels by the end of the module.
  • Discrepancies between student and teacher feedback reduced significantly by the second week.

Conclusions:

  • Condensed learning, utilizing immediate repetition, effectively consolidates microsurgical skills.
  • A 36-hour module is sufficient for achieving reliable vascular suture skills.
  • This intensive approach enhances student and teacher enthusiasm for microsurgery training.
