 The authors spent a good portion of their discussion contrasting their paper with that of [[jnl:grober2004|Grober et al]]. Their comments about the weaknesses of that study are generally fair. Both papers contribute to the literature for transfer of microsurgical skills. The authors spent a good portion of their discussion contrasting their paper with that of [[jnl:grober2004|Grober et al]].

 +===My Take===

 +  * This is a useful contribution to the literature on skill transfer training in microvascular surgery. The fact that such a small sample size managed to show such an effect, points to the large effect size of the training.
 +  * One major limitation, which the authors acknowledge, is the findings may not be generalizable to the wider population of trainees, because their "trainee" pool consisted of trained neurosurgeons with microsurgical experience
 +  * Their inability to demonstrate lack of skill decay is most likely due to the small sample size rather than the absence of decay.
