Summary
This study proposes a surgical training program for postgraduate surgeons using the Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair method. The structured curriculum, combining theory and practice, effectively improves surgical skills and clinical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Education
- Hernia Repair Techniques
Context:
- Postgraduate surgical training requires standardized curricula for complex procedures.
- The Lichtenstein technique is a widely adopted method for inguinal hernia repair.
Purpose:
- To propose and evaluate a structured training program for postgraduate surgeons.
- To assess the efficacy of a didactic and practical curriculum for inguinal hernia repair.
Summary:
- The training program integrates theoretical instruction with progressive surgical practice, starting as an assistant and advancing to the role of operating surgeon.
- The Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair was selected as the model procedure for this training program.
Impact:
- The developed teaching methodology proves effective in achieving a high standard of surgical proficiency.
- Positive clinical results validate the effectiveness of this surgical training approach for hernia repair.
