Reply: Concerns with the use of Genelyn cadavers for surgical simulation

چکیده
Sir, Thank you for your comments. You question our statement on the softness and pliability quoting a review article which contains that single statement quoted in the article as it being stiff and lacking colour. There is no dispute regarding this – Genelyn preserved tissue is and will not be fresh in frozen cadavers. Of course, there will be a lack of colour. As reconstructive microsurgeons, we find the dissection of such tissue suitable to our needs. Reasonably, other authors may have other opinions and are entitled to their respective subjective statements. Unless we find some method of quantifying pliability of tissues according to simulation needs, there will be no consensus.
