Abstract
Microsurgery and supermicrosurgery are the most experience-based parts of plastic and reconstructive surgery. This chapter will help a novice microsurgeon master the skills of performing microsurgical anastomoses on rodents. The rat’s carotid artery and jugular vein are the easily accessible vessels for microsurgical training. The vessels’ diameter is convenient for first training on living models and the anatomical area forgives mistakes in dissection. These benefits make the carotid artery and jugular vein the excellent anatomical model for training on living vessels, especially for novice microsurgeons.
