Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Microsurgery
  • Vascular Surgery Training

Background:

  • Microsurgery demands specialized, individualized training often lacking in residency programs.
  • Growing clinical applications of microsurgery increase the need for effective training opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the methodology and clinical effectiveness of an international microsurgery course.
  • To address the gap in microsurgical expertise and facilities within standard surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-day course involving hands-on practice of various anastomoses and vein graft techniques on live animals.
  • Training supplemented by video demonstrations and expert, full-time instructor guidance.
  • Evaluation through "in-course" assessments of technical skills and "post-course" surveys on participant satisfaction and confidence.

Main Results:

  • Over 600 trainees participated between 2007 and 2017.
  • High patency rates reported for arterial end-to-end (80.3%), end-to-side (82.7%), and one-way-up (89.5%) anastomoses.
  • Participants highly valued live animal practice and full-time instructor presence, reporting increased confidence in clinical microsurgery.

Conclusions:

  • The course effectively teaches fundamental microsurgical skills essential for handling delicate vascular structures.
  • It meets the increasing demand for specialized microsurgical training.
  • The program significantly improves trainees' confidence and competence in performing clinical microsurgery.
