The need for microscopic vascular anastomosis has increased in the field of gastrointestinal surgery. Herein we report the activities for microsurgical training by ISEM West Japan.Since 2015, we have held the Hands-on seminar twice a year using artificial blood vessel. The participants sutured it with 9-0 polypropylene suture under bench microscopes. Competitions for microsurgical arterial anastomosis were held in the seminar, in which we evaluated the anastomosis regarding the leakage and patency.Totally 208 participants attended the hands-on seminar. No relation was seen between the years of surgical experience and the score. However, there was a relation between the number of participation and the score.Through our hands-on seminar, young surgeon could improve technique and motivation for the microsurgery.
