    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Surgical Education
    • Animal Models

    Background:

    • Microsurgery requires extensive specialized training.
    • Current training models may lack anatomical fidelity or accessibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new training model for advanced microsurgery.
    • To utilize the rat cervical neurovascular anatomy for this purpose.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a reproducible microsurgical training model.
    • Focus on the cervical neurovascular structures in the rat.

    Main Results:

    • A functional and accessible model for microsurgical practice.
    • Demonstration of its utility in training.

    Conclusions:

    • The rat cervical neurovascular model offers a valuable platform for advanced microsurgical skill development.
    • Technical considerations for its effective use are outlined.
