A step by step laboratory guide for end to side anastomosis: chicken wing model

Abstract

Background: In vitro specimens are suitable models for the introduction of bypass surgery training of inexperienced neurosurgeons and residents. This paper aims to provide a guide for the applications of end to side anastomosis in the laboratory. Materials and Methods: The chicken wings were purchased from a local supermarket and used to perform end to side anastomosis. The microscissors, knotting forceps and 10/0 sutures were used, and all stages of the procedure were performed under a desktop microscope. Results: The experience required for bypass surgery, which is a skillful field in neurosurgery practice, can be obtained in the chicken wing model, which is a cheap and easily accessible method. Conclusion: The chicken wing model is a practical and feasible method in training the end to side anastomosis in a microsurgery laboratory.

End to side anastomoz için adım adım laboratuvar kılavuzu: tavuk kanadı modeli

Abstract

Amaç: In vitro örnekler, deneyimsiz beyin cerrahları ve asistanların baypas cerrahisi eğitimine giriş için uygun modellerdir. Bu makale, laboratuvarda end to side anastomoz uygulamaları için bir rehber sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve yöntem: Tavuk kanatları yerel bir süpermarketten satın alındı ve ‘end to side’ anastomoz yapmak için kullanıldı. Mikroskaslar, düğümleme pensleri ve 10/0 sütürler kullanıldı ve prosedürün tüm aşamaları bir masaüstü mikroskobu ile gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Nöroşirürji pratiğinde ustalık gerektiren bir alan olan baypas cerrahisi için gerekli deneyim, ucuz ve kolay ulaşılabilir bir yöntem olan tavuk kanadı modelinde elde edilebilir. Sonuç: Tavuk kanadı modeli, bir mikrocerrahi laboratuvarında ‘end to side’ anastomoz eğitiminde pratik ve uygulanabilir bir yöntemdir.
