Enhancing Vascular Surgery Training Through Supervised Dissection of Post-Amputation Specimens.

Objectives: Over recent years, the practice of surgery has seen a dramatic shift to minimally invasive approaches and techniques, with decreased surgical trainee exposure to open procedures, and less experience and confidence of junior surgeons. In vascular surgery specifically, endovascular procedures now dominate surgical management. Simulation labs attempt to address this deficit but fail to accurately replicate anatomical dissections and exposures.
