    Abstract The microsurgical anastomosis is integral to the success of autologous-free tissue transfer. Successful performance of this procedure relies strongly on operator dexterity, which can be made more challenging when blood and edematous fluids obscure the field of view. Workflow is impeded by intermittent irrigation and suctioning, necessitating presence of an assistant, with risk of arterial thrombosis, from vessels being drawn into suction drains. To negate these current disadvantages and minimize the barrier of entry to microvascular operations, we designed, manufactured, and patented a novel three-dimensional printed microsurgical background device with microfluidic capabilities that allow continuous suction and irrigation as well as provide platforms that enable multiangle retraction to facilitate operator autonomy. This was validated in an ex vivo model, with the device found to be superior to the current standard. We believe that this will have major applicability to the improvement of microsurgeon.

    Abstract Simulation is integral to the development and maintenance of micro- surgical skills. Several simulation models have been described ranging from bench- top to live animal models. High fidelity models are often burdened by cost and ethical issues limiting widespread implementation. This study aims to determine the feasibility of a microsurgical training platform using the Konjac noodle model.
    Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at our institution. A progressive microsurgical training curriculum was developed. A bespoke three-dimensional printed training platform was produced to enable residents to record training and assessment tasks. Microsurgical skills were blindly assessed before and after completing the training program using the University of Western Ontario Microsurgical Skills Assessment instrument.
    Results: Plastic surgery residents at various stages of training were recruited (n = 10). A significant improvement in vessel preparation from a pre-training median of 3 (IQR 2 -4) versus a post-training of 4 (IQR 3 -5,
    Conclusion: The use of the Konjac noodle model and video-based assessment using a three-dimensional printed model is an effective teaching tool that improves resident's microsurgical skills.

    Abstract Background: Surgery can be stressful, requiring decision-making and performance under pressure. The COVID-19 pandemic has further challenged surgeons' well-being and training. Excess stress adversely affects well-being, technical and non-technical performance, and, by extension, patient care. Little emphasis has been placed on interventions to improve individual surgeons' stress resilience despite mindfulness training being robustly linked to resilience, well-being, and improved executive function and performance. This feasibility study aimed to evaluate the effect and acceptability of a mindfulness meditation session on a group of surgical trainees during a hand fracture fixation course.
    Methods: All participants of a single-day hand fracture fixation course were invited to take part in the study, and randomised into two groups. The intervention group experienced a 10-min guided meditation session before their assessment, while the control group did not. Basic demographics, inherent 'trait' mindfulness, change in mood, and perceived acceptability were compared between the two groups.
    Results: The 17 participants were demographically similar, as were their self-reported mood scores until after the meditation, where they diverged significantly (
    Conclusions: Mindfulness meditation is established in improving stress resilience, relevant to surgeon well-being, performance, and patient care. This feasibility study suggests benefit and acceptability, and potential for further research in designing a targeted programme for surgeons, to reduce stress sensitivity, and improve performance, joy, and well-being within surgical training.Level of evidence: Level III, Therapeutic study.

    Abstract Lately, chairs have been widely used as a cheap, easily accessible, safe, and effective training means in different settings (e.g., in gyms, the house, workplaces, and in rehabilitation). This study investigated the effectiveness of a 10-week chair-based music-kinetic integrated combined exercise program on health, functional capacity, and physical fitness indicators of middle-aged pre-menopausal women. A total of 40 healthy women (40-53 years) were assigned to two groups: exercise (EG) and control (CG). The EG followed a 10-week (3 times/weekly; 30 training sessions) chair-based exercise program including aerobic dance, flexibility, coordination, and strength exercises with body weight or auxiliary means. Selected indicators of health, functional capacity, and physical fitness were evaluated before and after the 10 weeks. Following the program, the EG significantly reduced their body fat (-2.5%), blood pressure (by -4.5 to -5.5%), the time during the timed up-and-go (TUG) test (by -10.27%), heart rate (by -6.35 to -13.78%), and the rate of perceived exertion (by -24.45 to -25.88%), while increasing respiratory function (3.5-4%), flexibility (12.17%), balance (50.38-51.07%), maximal handgrip strength (10-12.17%), and endurance strength (43.87-55.91%). The chair-based combined music-kinetic exercise program was effective and could be safely used in different settings to improve health, functional capacity, and physical fitness in middle-aged women.
