Abstract
Microsurgical techniques are becoming more and more important to modern surgery. Microsurgery constitutes the basis of many surgical specialties, such as hand surgery, transplantation surgery, plastic surgery, and neurosurgery, among others. To an increasing extent, junior surgeons need to acquire microsurgical skills to pursue their surgical careers. However, factors such as law, time, and cost can limit the opportunity for or access to microsurgical skills training. Ilie and Chan et al[1] [2] conducted a review of the literature, summed up several nonliving training models, and pointed out that none of the models are sufficiently integrative. An optimal model closely simulates real-life conditions so as to facilitate skills transfer, and it is also cost-effective.
