Aim:
To develop 'Cadaveric Course' of operative surgery for severe combined trauma for students, surgical residents, postgraduate students of medical universities and to compare its effectiveness with other approaches.
Material And Methods:
'Cadaveric course' program of operative surgery for severe combined trauma consisted of four stages. The first stage is theoretical course (2 weeks), the second stage - students' work in cadaveric operating theatre with instructors (5 weeks), the third stage - their independent work in 'cadaveric operating theatre (10 weeks), the fourth stage - analysis of the results and their comparison with those of 5 2-year residents (control group).
Results:
There were significant differences in practical skills between students. Mean time of surgery and expert assessment score were 32.0±9.5 min and 4.6±0.5 in the main group, respectively, in the control group - 46.0±7.5 min and 3.6±0.5 scores, respectively (p=0.03 and p=0.02). Theoretical background was similar in both groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
Research has opened new opportunities to introduce 'cadaveric course' into educational process, to analyze its outcomes and further improvement.
