This study introduces a goat socket model for oculoplastic surgery training. Trainees reported increased skills, confidence, and satisfaction, recommending the model for surgical preparation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Education
  • Veterinary Anatomy

Background:

  • Oculoplastic surgery training requires realistic models.
  • Existing models may lack accessibility or affordability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a reproducible and accessible goat socket model for oculoplastic surgery training.
  • To assess trainee perceptions of learning progress and satisfaction with the model.

Main Methods:

  • Goat heads were prepared as split-head models, including orbital rim, eye, and eyelids.
  • Ophthalmology residents received supervised surgical training using the goat socket model.
  • A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire evaluated learning progress and satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • The goat socket model facilitated simulation of various eyelid and orbital operations due to anatomical similarities with human eyes.
  • All participants (100%) reported increased surgical skills, instrumentation proficiency, and confidence.
  • A high percentage (87%) found the model realistic, and 93% recommended it for pre-operative training.

Conclusions:

  • Goat socket models offer a simple, accessible, and cost-effective option for oculoplastic surgical training.
  • Trainee feedback indicates positive learning outcomes and high satisfaction with the model.
