Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Skills Training
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Developing effective training models is crucial for acquiring diverse medical skills.
  • Simple surgical procedures require specialized training to ensure proficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and evaluate a novel training model for enhancing simple surgical procedure skills.
  • The model aims to provide a realistic simulation for cutaneous surgery practice.

Main Methods:

  • A wooden plate base was covered with cotton and polyethylene film, then affixed with rat skin.
  • The model was utilized in a workshop covering surgical sutures, punch biopsy, excisional biopsy, rotational flap, and Z-plasty.
  • Participant physicians' surgical skills were assessed pre- and post-workshop.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-three physicians participated voluntarily in the workshop.
  • All participants exhibited a statistically significant improvement in their surgical skill scores (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • The training model's resemblance to human skin and ease of setup make it highly suitable for medical education.
  • This model serves as an effective teaching tool for improving physician proficiency in basic cutaneous surgery techniques.
