Cover Story: Microsurgery requires precision, patience, and a steep learning curve, especially for early-stage trainees. This pilot study tested whether a structured, low-cost training protocol could improve microsurgical skills in plastic surgery residents using non-living models. Over a three-month period, participants who followed a predefined curriculum showed significantly greater improvements in microvascular anastomosis compared to those without structured training. A modified UWOMSA tool was used to track skill acquisition objectively. These results highlight the potential of reproducible and affordable training methods to improve standards in microsurgical education. View this paper
