Testimonials

Anyone who wishes to develop microsurgical skills could benefit from this course. It offers a very nice introduction to the exciting world of microsurgery.

Harut Avsaroglu, The Netherlands

This is a letter to explain what the René Remie microsurgery course has meant in my career. First of all, I am writing this letter because I feel I must be grateful to this awesome professor. I also should apologize for my English, it is not the best and I am not sure if I will be able to explain all the things I want to explain but I am going to try it. I am a young Spanish orthopedic surgeon. I would like to become a hand surgeon and as a hand surgeon, you should be trained in microsurgical … Read more

Marta, Spain

I would highly recommend the Microsurgery and Experimental Techniques course run by René and Irene. It was very professionally run, with both theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations/learning that were tailored for my personal benefit, which was very much appreciated. I learnt a lot during my time at the RRSSC, especially the multiple surgical models that I requested as well as practical tips that will improve them.

MZQ, London, April 2023

I had a great 3 days (radio telemetry) course and learned a lot. I would really hope to be able to come for the microsurgery and experimental technique course at some point in the future.

Alan McCarthy, UK

I completed the animal surgery course at the RRSSC and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The course content was comprehensive, covering a wide range of surgical techniques and procedures. The instructors were experienced professionals who provided clear explanations and hands-on demonstrations. The practical sessions were invaluable, allowing us to practice various surgical procedures under expert guidance. The course organization and materials were top-notch, making it easy to follow alon… Read more

I participated in the December 2023, 5-day Module B, Microsurgical and Experimental Techniques course intending to learn how to perform one of the most difficult surgeries in small rodents. As a total beginner, I had very low expectations for my performance in this training. However, in only 5 days I gained both theoretical and practical knowledge for microsurgeries, knots, anesthesia, and anatomy, which in my mind I expected to take months or even a whole year to obtain. I actually managed to p… Read more

Vasiliki, Italy

From my experience on the 3-day radiotelemetry course, I would absolutely recommend this, or indeed any of the courses to anyone, to those with plenty of in vivo experience as much as those with only a little.

Kevin Coote, United Kingdom

I had the pleasure of attending the 5-day Module C course at the René Remie Surgical Skills Centre (RRSSC) in Almere, the Netherlands, from October 6 to 10, 2025, with a special focus on radiotelemetry in mice. The instructors, René Remie and Irene Cuesta, were exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the course. René, with his vast experience, not only explained the theoretical aspects but also enriched the sessions with fascinating stories from his own research, the h… Read more

I attended the 5-day Module B course with René and Irene in November of 2022. The course had a perfect balance of presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. The presentations were packed with critical information every surgeon should know. I have 25 years of surgical experience, but my week at the RRSSC showed me how much more there is to learn in this field. René is a wealth of knowledge and I learned tremendously throughout the course. I really enjoyed my week and am very grateful… Read more

Andree Lapierre

This June 2025 training was fantastic! It covered not only the basics of Good Surgical Practice, suturing, anaesthesia, and perioperative care of laboratory animals, but also a practical approach to our own techniques and problems. The discussions with René and Irene gave me a better understanding of animals’ reactions and physiology during surgery. Together, we refined my procedures, which will consequently improve the welfare of the animals.
