Manual dexterity is one of the key skills required to be a competent microsurgeon. The increased number of applications of microsurgery has led to a growing need to refine the microsurgery skill training. Virtual reality simulators and box trainers assessing manual dexterity have been introduced as educational and assessment tools.
