title: [Microsurgical training - report on the consensus workshop of the 31st annual meeting of the German-language group for microsurgery of the peripheral nerves and vessels 2009 in Erlangen].
abstract: Based on the increasing importance of microsurgical procedures in the field of plastic and hand surgery, as well as in other related fields, a consensus workshop was held during the 31st annual meeting of the German-language working group for microsurgery of the nerves and vessels (DAM). The current state of microsurgical training and possible ways of optimisation were discussed. Furthermore, a trinational task force was established in order to develop quality criteria for a future certification of microsurgical training centres under the auspices of the DAM.
