Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Anatomical Modeling

Background:

  • Simulation is increasingly mandatory in medical education.
  • Current surgical simulation devices lack anatomical realism, hindering widespread adoption.
  • A gap exists between existing simulation technology and operating room reality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel surgical simulation model.
  • To enhance realism in surgical simulation using cadavers.
  • To develop a model for both open and laparoscopic surgery with realistic physiological functions.

Main Methods:

  • A task trainer was designed using plastic, electronic, and biologic materials.
  • The model incorporated a cadaver connected to a device simulating pulse and artificial respiration.
  • The model was tested over 24 months with 35 participants; 20 provided feedback on realism.

Main Results:

  • The simulation model successfully replicated beating circulation and artificial respiration.
  • The model was reproducible and effective for small group teaching (up to four participants).
  • Participants highly rated the anatomical correlation, realism, and overall learning experience.

Conclusions:

  • The developed cadaver-based model offers a realistic simulation for surgical training.
  • This model is suitable for both open and laparoscopic surgery.
  • It provides an objective platform for performance assessment within educational programs.
