[Microsurgical training in Germany - results of a survey among trainers and trainees].
Reconstructive microsurgery is an essential part of plastic surgery. To live up to the high technical demands of today's sophisticated techniques, a structured microsurgical training is required. However, such curricula are rare in Germany. ⋯ Based on our findings, representatives of microsurgical trainers and trainees, together with national societies might be able to establish a national curriculum for microsurgical training. The clinical implementation of such a structured train-ing will require significant personal resources. However, this expenditure seems to be justified by the increasing complexity of techniques, the rising demand of patients and the limited time for -surgical training.
