“…18 Silicone tubes simulating small blood vessels and use of colored beads have been described to be useful to practice in handling microvascular instruments for vessel anastomosis for the beginner and periodic retraining of microsurgeons. 19,20 To practice orientation under the microscope a glove box model can be used as a readily available and safe nonliving model. 21 Foliage leaf is friable, nonelastic and exaggerates any damage inflicted to the tissue.…”

“…Singly fenestrated colored beads can be used in microsurgical training as suggested by Yenidunya et al 30 The beads are threaded onto microsuture to produce micro-necklaces, giving practice at handling instruments and sutures under magni®cation. Southern and Ramakrishnan 31 describe an easily constructed model,``Dexter,'' using paperclips, glue, and singly fenestrated color-coded beads.…”

Non‐vital, prosthetic, and virtual reality models of microsurgical training

2001

Many microsurgical training models exist. These can be broadly classified into living and non-living. The latter type can be further sub-classified into non-vital, prosthetic, and virtual reality models. We review each model within these sub-groups with reference to the ideal properties of a training model. The most important attribute of any model is that the skills acquired from it must translate efficiently into microsurgical skill in the clinical situation. We believe that non-vital and prosthetic models are an important complement to living ones in training and maintaining the skills of all microsurgeons. As virtual reality technology improves, virtual models may succeed the rat as the microsurgical training tool of choice.

Microsurgical skills training: A new concept for simulation of vessel-wall suturing

et al. 2005

Initiation of training in basic microsurgical suturing technique usually involves placing sutures on incisions made on latex sheets, and then progressing to a live anastomosis in a rat model. A straight incision resembles a skin incision and does not mechanically simulate vessel wall suturing, and various modifications and innovative prosthetic models continue to be developed to bring the simulation closer to a live anastomosis. We developed two models which closely simulate vessel wall suturing and require the application of similar skills by the trainee. In the first model (the "I" model), the straight 1-cm incision is converted to an I-shaped incision which increases the instability of the edge to be sutured, depending on the length of the horizontal incision, putting greater demand on dexterity in suture placement similar to a vessel. The length (1 cm) of the edge does not constrain the spacing of the sutures and can be used for the beginner. The second model (the "double triangle" model) creates a narrow and unstable edge for placing sutures, and puts greater demand on bimanual coordination and instrument control for training in accuracy of suture placement as well as spacing between sutures. Both these models are cost-effective and simple to construct.
