Microsurgery training: for whom and how?
https://doi.org/10.52581/1814-1471/76/7
Abstract
In 2011, the staff of the Department of Plastic Surgery, Sechenov University (Moscow, Russia), organized three-stage microsurgical courses. Having analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the previous practical course, it was created according to the principle “from simple to complex”, integrating theoretical material into the practical preparation for the formation of a microsurgical outlook.
According to the authors, dividing the learning process into short-term stages allows students to gradually immerse themselves in the microsurgical world, while they themselves regulate the frequency of training and the need for further improvement of skills. Due to the phasing, the course becomes more accessible and makes it possible to popularize microsurgery as a universal method for solving surgical problems.
