This course is designed for surgeons who have just followed the basic course on microsurgery, and want to learn more about advanced microsurgical techniques to be used in bio-medical research. The course starts with refreshing some basic knowledge such as: dissection of blood vessels, end-to-end anastomoses and end-to-side anastomoses. Organ transplantation techniques will be discussed. Followed by hands-on training under the microscope of arterial and venous graft interposition, by-pass techniques, the heterotopic heart transplantation (acc. to Sun Lee or Heron), kidney transplantation, etc. 

---

Theory-to-practice ratio of this course is about 20/80.

---

The following models will be discussed and surgically prepared:

	Arterial and venous graft interposition in the abdominal aorta and the carotid artery
	By-pass techniques in the abdominal aorta and the carotid artery

Porta-caval anastomosis (suture technique acc. to Sun Lee or button technique acc. to Funovics)

	Heterotopic heart transplantation (suture technique acc. to Sun Lee or button technique acc. to Heron)
	A model according to your own whish!!
