There are various models for practicing microsurgical anastomoses, from synthetic to ex vivo and in vivo biological ones. In this study, we present the domestic turkey () as an ex vivo biological model in the practice of surgical anastomoses. In our opinion, it represents a model that is very similar to a human one, low cost, and easy to find. In fact, our study shows that the diameters of the arteries and veins used for anastomoses (tibial artery diameter: 2.5 ± 0.6 mm; tibial vein diameter: 3.5 ± 1.2 mm) are similar to those of human arteries and veins most frequently used in microsurgical free flaps. So, we believe that this animal model is a great model for microsurgical training for doctors who approach this difficult and long to learn discipline.
有多种用于练习显微外科吻合术的模型，从合成模型到离体和体内生物模型。在本研究中，我们提出将家火鸡作为外科吻合术练习中的一种离体生物模型。我们认为，它代表了一种与人类模型非常相似、成本低且易于获取的模型。事实上，我们的研究表明，用于吻合术的动脉和静脉直径（胫动脉直径：2.5±0.6毫米；胫静脉直径：3.5±1.2毫米）与显微外科游离皮瓣中最常用的人类动脉和静脉直径相似。因此，我们相信这种动物模型对于从事这一困难且学习周期长的学科的医生来说，是一种很好的显微外科训练模型。
