Abstract
Alternative methods to living animals are actually often necessary in microsurgical training. The human placenta presents many advantages, such as easy availability at no cost and the great number of suitable vessels on its fetal surface. On the basis of their experience, the authors suggest that the human placenta may be a satisfactory alternative when living animals are not available.
