=====The end game – A quantitative assessment tool for anastomosis in simulated microsurgery=====

====Abstract====
With the move towards simulation based microsurgical training and emphasis on the declining usage of animal models, there is a need for an objective method to evaluate microvascular anastomosis in a non-living, simulated microsurgical training environment. Our aim was to create a validated assessment tool to evaluate the intimal surface of the end product to measure skills acquisition.

====Commentary====
  * 9 objective components --> mapped to relative performance score
  * Standard set on n=? (perhaps it doesn't matter)
  * Backwall caught?
