This study introduces a novel, low-cost neonatal circumcision training model using the Gomco technique. The simulation effectively trains interns in neonatal circumcision procedures within a 1-hour session.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Neonatal circumcision is a common procedure requiring skilled practitioners.
  • Traditional training methods may lack sufficient hands-on practice opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the construction and application of an innovative training model for neonatal circumcision.
  • To provide a reproducible simulation for the Gomco technique.

Main Methods:

  • A cost-effective model was assembled using readily available materials: clipboard, pacifier, gloves, rubber band, syringe, tape, towels, and a Gomco circumcision kit.
  • The model incorporates essential components of the Gomco technique for simulation.

Main Results:

  • The model facilitated effective training for interns in neonatal circumcision simulation.

  • One instructor successfully guided four interns through three simulations each in a single hour.

    • Conclusions:

    • This neonatal circumcision model offers a practical and efficient tool for surgical training.
    • The simulation enhances trainee confidence and proficiency in the Gomco technique.
