  • Survey data covered respondent demographics, training experiences, knowledge, and center characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • 72 participants from 25 countries and 9 specialties responded.
    • Team training was unanimously deemed superior.
    • Major obstacles included lack of facilities (43%), financial constraints (15%), and accessibility (14%).

    Conclusions:

    • The international survey provides initial insights into microsurgical training disparities.
    • Findings indicate variations in access, infrastructure, and teaching methods.
    • Preliminary data aim to stimulate discussion and future research in microsurgical education.
