Microsurgery training: A combined educational program
Educational study published in Injury (2020)
Abstract
A proposed microsurgical training program is presented that includes all the existing training methods, such as simulation in nonliving models, virtual reality simulation system and exercise in living models. Our experience in microsurgery training over the last decades indicates the need of evolution in training programs. This can be achieved with the introduction of new technologies into education and training. The first primary results of the described training program are promising, however this system needs to be assessed by training greater number of microsurgeons. Furthermore, more complex scenarios (such as whole operations) should be inserted into the virtual reality simulation system to create a more interactive experience.

Zusammenfassung
Combined microsurgery training program incorporating nonliving simulation, virtual reality and living models with positive preliminary results.
Warum dies für die Hirudotherapie relevant ist
This article proposes a combined microsurgical training program integrating nonliving models, virtual reality simulation, and exercises in living models, drawing on the authors' decades of experience in microsurgery education. The authors report that initial results are promising but note the system requires assessment with a larger number of trainees and the addition of more complex scenarios to the virtual reality component. This article has no direct relevance to hirudotherapy, the leech secretome, or the American Society of Hirudotherapy's domain—it focuses entirely on surgical education methodologies and contains no mention of leeches, leech-derived compounds, or hirudotherapy techniques.
