The course includes practical exercises for the acquisition and enhancement of microsurgical skills through the practice of:

• microsurgical anastomoses on 1 mm and 2 mm synthetic vessels;
• adventitia dissection and vessel preparation;
• end-to-end anastomoses and blood flow test;
• end-to-side anastomoses and blood flow test;
• dural sutures on synthetic membranes.

The aim of the course is to increase the surgical skills through the use of hyper-realistic simulators for microvascular and microreconstruction techniques.
