Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a complex surgical procedure.
  • Effective training methods are crucial for developing surgical proficiency in AAA repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new surgical jig designed for teaching and practicing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
  • To provide a realistic simulation of the current surgical technique used by arterial surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized jig for simulating abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Utilizing a plastic model of an aortic aneurysm that can be surgically opened.
  • Incorporating a Dacron tube for inlaying and continuous suturing practice.

Main Results:

  • The jig accurately replicates the steps of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
  • It allows trainees to practice opening the simulated aneurysm and suturing a graft.
  • The device facilitates hands-on learning of continuous suturing techniques in a controlled environment.

Conclusions:

  • The described jig offers a valuable tool for surgical education in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
  • It enhances the ability to teach and practice the current arterial surgical techniques.
  • This simulation device can improve surgical skill acquisition and patient safety.
