“…Hsieh also published his techniques to practice microsurgery using sterile gloves in 2017. 6 In his technique, the glove is transected at the tip and the phalangeal base, creating a finger latex tube. Then two strips of micropore tapes were applied over the middle portion of the finger latex tube on both the surfaces.…”

“…This obliterated the inner space of the finger latex and synthetic vessels were created. 6 In my technique, there is no need to use micropore tapes. This makes it less expensive.…”

“…1–4 However, the extended use of these models is limited by cost, time, and ethical considerations. Sterile gloves have also been used.. 5,6 Here, I report a simple and cost-effective technique to practice microsurgical techniques by using sterile gloves in a novel way.…”

Background: Simulation has gained notable recognition for its role as an effective training and assessment modality in the present era of competency-based medical education. Despite the well-documented efficacy of both live and cadaveric animal models, several ethical, financial, and accessibility issues persist with their use. Lower fidelity nonbiological simulators have gained recognition for their ability to circumvent these challenges. This systematic review reports on all prosthetic and virtual reality simulators in use for microsurgery training, with an emphasis on each model’s complexity, characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and validation measures taken. Methods: A systematic search was performed using the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE, and Embase databases. Search terms were those pertaining to prosthetic and virtual reality models with relevance to microsurgical training in plastic surgery. Three independent reviewers evaluated all articles retrieved based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Fifty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria for review, reporting on 20 basic prosthetic models, 20 intermediate models, 13 advanced models, and six virtual reality simulators. Conclusions: A comprehensive summary has been compiled of all nonbiological simulators in use for microsurgery training in plastic surgery, demonstrating efficacy for the acquisition and retention of microsurgical skills. Metrics-based validation efforts, however, were often lacking in the literature. As plastic surgery programs continue to innovate, ensure accountability, and safely meet today’s training standards, prosthetic simulators are set to play a larger role in the development of a standardized, ethical, accessible, and objectively measurable microsurgery training curriculum for the modern-day plastic and reconstructive surgery resident.
