Although numerous training models and simulations have been developed, the living rat model is favoured for its high fidelity to clinical microsurgery. However, there are serious ethical concerns over the use of live models for training. The aim of this study was to demonstrate if effective skill acquisition was possible with a reduction in the number of live rats. |
