Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomical Modeling
  • Surgical Education Technology

Background:

  • Traditional anatomical resources can be challenging for understanding complex surgical structures.
  • There is a need for accessible and intuitive learning tools in surgical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a low-resource pipeline for creating and publishing online schematic 3D anatomical models.
  • To demonstrate the utility of 3D models for understanding complex surgical anatomy, using the inguinal canal as a case study.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized open-source 3D modeling software (Blender) to create an inguinal canal model.
  • Generated annotated video tutorials and exported interactive 3D models to an online platform.
  • Collected student feedback over two years via YouTube comments and an online form.

Main Results:

  • Over 5,400 students accessed the online platform, with video tutorials receiving over 162,000 views.
  • Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting faster comprehension due to visuospatial feedback.
  • The 3D models facilitated better orientation and understanding of complex anatomical areas.

Conclusions:

  • Online 3D schematic models are feasible to create using free software.
  • These models provide an effective, intuitive method for students to learn difficult surgical concepts.
  • Visuospatial learning through 3D models complements traditional teaching methods.
