Mastering Lymphatic Microsurgery: A New Training Model in Living Tissue

Conclusions: The authors present a safe and adaptable in vivo experimental microsurgical porcine model that provides the opportunity to practice several advanced lymphatic microsurgical techniques in the same animal. The ideal lymph node transfer training model can be developed from this anatomical detail, giving the opportunity to use it for artery-to-artery anastomoses, vein-to-vein anastomoses, and lymphatic-to-lymphatic anastomoses.
