Microsurgery training in Singapore began in 1980 with the opening of the Experimental
Surgical Unit. Since then, the unit has continued to grow and have held microsurgical
training courses biannually. The road to becoming a full-fledged reconstructive surgeon
requires the mastering of both microvascular as well as flap raising techniques and
requires time, patience and good training facilities. In Singapore, over the past
2 decades, we have had the opportunity to develop good training facilities and to
refine our surgical education programmes in reconstructive microsurgery. In this article,
we share our experience with training in reconstructive microsurgery.
