Background:

Mitral valve (MV) surgery training faces challenges due to complex anatomy and procedures.
Existing training methods may not adequately prepare surgeons for intricate MV repair.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a low-cost, reusable, and portable mitral valve repair simulator.
To improve surgical skills for trainees in major mitral valve surgery techniques.

Main Methods:

A self-made, intermediate-fidelity mitral valve repair simulator was constructed.
The simulator incorporates a self-made silicone MV substitute to mimic native tissue properties.
The building process was documented, and surgical procedures were simulated for testing.

Main Results:

The developed simulator provides a practical tool for mitral valve repair training.
The silicone substitute effectively simulates the flexible properties of native mitral valve components.
Surgical handling during simulated procedures was assessed.

Conclusions:

The proposed mitral valve repair simulator offers a valuable, accessible training solution.
This tool can enhance the proficiency of surgeons at all training levels in mitral valve repair.
The simulator represents a cost-effective advancement in surgical education for mitral valve procedures.
