Professional development: Cadaver Lab

unequivocally support the value of simulation in the acquisition of surgical techniques. Faced with what we like to call "the perfect storm", or the sum of all those factors that characterize urgent / emergency cases, the general surgeon must quickly gain complete control of the situation. The Holy Grail of is undoubtedly the corpse simulation. This is what prompted SICUT to develop a course to improve knowledge of anatomical exposures for advanced thoracoabdominal vascular control on a reperfused corpse and soon there may be "pulsatile reperfusion",which allows the simulation of various clinical scenarios to vary physiological parameters (beat, frequency, blood pressure ...) .
