Summary

The goal of this preclinical trial is to learn about the benefits and limitations of novel robotic devices for microsurgery, based on different levels of microsurgical experience. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is robot-assisted microsurgery faster, better and more ergonomic than conventional microsurgery in a preclinical standardized setting?

Participants will perform microvascular anastomoses on 1.0-mm-diameter artificial silicone vessels using a conventional manual approach versus a novel robot-assisted approach. Researchers will compare the performance of novices, advanced participants and experts to evaluate the role of microsurgical experience when learning the new technique.
