Effectiveness of a 4-day intensive course for neurosurgeons in error reduction in microvascular anastomoses
Participation in the Step I and Step II EANS courses significantly improved microsurgical performance, as evidenced by reduced technical errors in microvascular anastomosis. Future efforts should focus on refining evaluation tools and on integrating technological innovations such as motion tracking and machine learning for enhanced feedback and long-term skill assessment.
