Surgical models are invaluable resources for training and for research and innovation. In the field of supermicrosurgery (SM), options for surgical models remain limited and imperfect. We report the use of a fresh, previously frozen 4-week postmortem cadaveric specimen for successful distal to proximal indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography of the upper extremity. Our technique was confirmed with handheld SPY fluorescence imaging, which visualized a clearly defined, linear lymphatic system. By outlining a straightforward, reproducible method of lymphatic mapping in cadaveric specimens, our group aims to expand the frontiers of surgical models for SM.
手术模型是培训、研究和创新的宝贵资源。在超显微外科（SM）领域，手术模型的选择仍然有限且存在缺陷。我们报告了使用一个新鲜的、先前冷冻的4周龄尸检尸体标本成功进行上肢从远端到近端的吲哚菁绿（ICG）淋巴造影。我们的技术通过手持式SPY荧光成像得到了证实，该成像显示出一个清晰界定的线性淋巴系统。通过概述一种在尸体标本中进行淋巴图谱绘制的直接、可重复的方法，我们团队旨在拓展SM手术模型的前沿领域。
