Turkey Wing: Microsurgical Nuances

Mario Stivala and Elisabetta Farise

For the specialist neurosurgeon the daily practice of micro-surgical techniques are fundamental to the consolidation of the skills needed, in particular for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease. We have tested a simple and detailed micro-vascular training protocol, even feasible at home using turkey wings; this tissue proved optimal for micro-surgical practice and is easily preservable over a period of time. It also described a method for the preparation and preservation of the anatomical piece so as to allow a proper and lasting use, even for subsequent dissections.
