Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Microsurgery Simulation
  • Maxillofacial Surgery Training

Background:

  • High demand exists for simulation-based training in maxillofacial surgery.
  • Existing simulation methods are often prohibitively expensive for many training programs.
  • Need for accessible and affordable simulation models is critical for registrar development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of a non-living chicken thigh model for simulating microsurgical procedures.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and value of this model in a surgical training context.
  • To gather participant feedback on the advantages and limitations of the chicken thigh simulation model.

Main Methods:

  • A non-living chicken thigh model was utilized for microsurgical procedure simulation.
  • The simulation was implemented during a dedicated training day for specialty registrars.
  • Participant feedback was collected to analyze the model's effectiveness and perceived value.

Main Results:

  • The chicken thigh model was identified as a useful tool for microsurgical simulation.
  • The model was found to be a cost-effective alternative to traditional simulation methods.
  • Trainees highly valued the simulation experience provided by this model.

Conclusions:

  • The chicken thigh model offers a practical and affordable solution for maxillofacial surgery microsurgical simulation.
  • This cost-effective approach is well-received by surgical trainees and enhances their educational experience.
  • Further exploration of low-cost simulation models is warranted for surgical specialty training.
