Abstract
Twenty-five human placentas were studied for suitability in a microvascular exercise. The size and useful length of vessels were measured, and different microvascular anastomoses were performed. The size of the placenta vessels compared well with reported sizes of intracranial arteries. We suggest the use of placenta by neurosurgeons as complementary to experimental animals in microvascular training.Keywords
