7Awards of the XXXVI COMU 2017. Rev Med (São Paulo). 2017;96(Suppl. 1):1-35.An intermediate step, non-living model (ox tongue) for microvascular trainingAcademic authors: Daniel Imbassahy de Sá Bittencourt Câmara e Silva, Fauze Camargo MalufAcademic advisors: Cristina Pires Camargo, Julio Morais Besteiro, Rolf GemperliBackground: This study aimed to introduce a nonliving microvascular training model based on vessels diameter and feasibility. Methods: We dissected ten oxen tongues, and divided the pedicles into three-thirds: proximal, medial and distal. We measured the external vessels diameter in all regions. We performed a descriptive statistical analysis. Results: We dissected all oxen tongues, each tongue showed two parallel pedicles. Each pedicle was located at 1.5 – 2.0 cm from the midline. Proximal median artery and vein diameter were 3.9 ± 0.7, and 5.04 ± 1.44mm, respectively. In the medial third, the mean artery diameter was 3.3 ± 0.4mm, and the vein diameter was 3.5 ± 0.9mm. The distal third showed a mean artery diameter of 2.0 ± 0.42mm, and a vein diameter of 2.4 ± 0.82mm. Conclusion: This study suggested a feasible non animal model for microsurgical training process for beginners and in-termediate trainees.Keywords: Microsurgery; Surgical anastomosis; Ethical; Medical education.
