Perfused placentas provide an excellent and accessible model for microvascular dissection, microsuturing and microanastomosis training - particularly in the early microsurgical learning curve. This way, a significant amount of live animals can be spared.
We present the Zurich Microsurgery Lab protocol, detailing steps for obtaining, selecting, cleaning, flushing, cannulating, and preserving human placentas - as well as microsurgical training examples - in a tried-and-true, safe, cost-effective, and high-yield fashion.
Our technique enables highly realistic microsurgical training (microdissection, microvascular repair, microanastomosis) based on readily available materials. Proper handling, preparation, and preservation of the perfused placenta models is key.
灌流胎盘为微血管解剖、显微缝合和微血管吻合训练提供了一个极好且易于获取的模型，尤其是在早期的显微外科学习曲线中。这样，可以节省大量的活体动物。
我们介绍了苏黎世显微外科实验室的方案，详细说明了获取、选择、清洁、冲洗、插管和保存人胎盘的步骤，以及在经过验证的、安全、具有成本效益和高产的方式下进行显微外科训练的示例。
我们的技术基于现成的材料，实现了高度逼真的显微外科训练（显微解剖、血管修复、吻合术）。适当的处理、准备和保存灌流胎盘模型是关键。
