Abstract

We developed an exercise to encourage microsurgery students to practice technically difficult procedures. The incredible T exercise uses the contralateral femoral vein of the rat as an interpositional graft into the femoral vein and the inferior epigastric vein as an end-to-side anastomosis into the graft. The technically difficult procedure requires students to practice and improve their surgical technique, thereby gaining skill and self-confidence. Friendly competition helps to make the learning process more enjoyable.
