Testimonials

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

It was an excellent opportunity for me to attend such an important four days of microsurgical skills and hemodynamic ADInstruments PV-loop course at the René Remie Surgical Skills Centre. As a researcher in cardiology, it was the best investment for my research career to date. I have learned much about preclinical animal use in 32 hours over four days, including the 3R’s principles and how to work with animals to have excellent outcomes. This was a very well-organised course, which delivered vas… Read more

In April 2012 I had the pleasure of attending a course in microsurgical techniques at René Remie Surgical Skills Centre in Almere, The Netherlands. This was an experience that by far exceeded all my expectations. René is a wonderful person with a passion to teach others the amazing microsurgical techniques he is mastering to perfection. René has a way of making everyone around him in a good mood and at the same time push you forward as hard as possible to make you learn far more than you thou… Read more

I attended the 5 days-module B course in May 2016 and would warmly recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their surgical skills and knowledge in microsurgery. The technical facilities were great, the teacher (René) was excellent and the course program was well thought of. I learned so much during these 5 days – including good surgical practice, choosing the right equipment, asepsis, anesthesia and excellent surgical techniques that will introduce major improvements at our facility… Read more

I would recommend that anyone working in the scientific field who is interested in performing surgery or is currently performing surgery on Laboratory Animals should definately attend this course. They will obtain many new ideas with a wealth of information as I did.

I attended a Module B course in 2023. It was a great pleasure to receive first-hand lectures and guidelines from René Remie, the renowned microsurgery expert. I learned more than expected about all my techniques of interest. In addition to the knowledge, I greatly appreciate the generosity of René and Irene in sharing their vast experience, their library, the answer to every question, their scientific opinion, and, of course, the opportunity to be personally trained by both. If possible, I rec… Read more

Absolutely the best course to develop skills for microsurgery. The best combination of theoretical and practical skills. My aim was to increase my techniques in end-to-slide anastomosis for rat kidney transplantation. I got a personal plan and course design including private presentation and advice for many small tricks. I highly recommend the course to beginners and advanced users of microsurgical techniques! Hartelijk dank René and Muchas gracias Irene!!!
Mikhail, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden
I will recommend these courses to everybody who wants to learn all about microsurgery.

I had the chance to follow the basic module B training in May 2022. In a family atmosphere, the 5 days are articulated between: – theoretical readings: anesthesia, analgesia, asepsis, etc. – demonstrations: a camera installed on the microscope retransmits the image on a large screen which allows the students to follow all the steps perfectly – practical exercises: first on silicone  material then on animals (mouse or rat as preferred by the student) Prof. René Remie has a thorough … Read more

Participating in the 5 days microsurgery training at RRSSC was a great experience and moved forward our project so much. Implementing all the good advice and skills we took home from Almere are now daily business in our lab. Many thanks to René, his team and family for the warm welcome”.
