ANATOFLAPS

Course Philosophy

ANATOFLAPS is an intensive, technically oriented cadaveric course designed for surgeons with previous experience in hand surgery.

Brief, then dissect

Each session begins with 5–10 minutes of focused anatomical and technical instruction, followed by supervised hands-on dissection.

Vascular anatomy

The emphasis is on vascular anatomy, pedicle identification, perforator dissection, flap elevation and mobilisation.

Pedicled flaps only

All exercises focus exclusively on pedicled flaps, without microvascular anastomoses or free-flap preparation.

Four participants

Limited to 4 participants to maximise individual dissection time and direct faculty supervision.
