The Exoscope versus operating microscope in microvascular surgery: A simulation non-inferiority trial.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that experts' Exoscope anastomoses appear non-inferior to the OM anastomoses. Exoscopic microvascular anastomosis was more time consuming but end-product (patency) in not clinically inferior. Experts' "warm-up" learning curve is steep but swift and may prove to reach clinical equality. PMID: 32453933 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
