Micro-surgery guide in minimum invasion surgery training techniques

Abstract

The evolution of the traditional surgical techniques and the training models of the surgeons demand changes. For this reason the minimally invasive surgery research and training centre (CLEMI) has developed and applied teaching models as an aid to learn minimally invasive surgical techniques like microsurgery. CLEMI proposes a training model based on the use of an experimental model, presented in a controlled, structured, and progressive environment that is adjusted to the rhythm of the individual student. Initially, the student will encounter theoretical concepts of instrumental, equipment, and ergonomics. Later, in the practical phase, they will use synthetic models and then a biological model with which they perform a series of exercises in order to perfect the technical skills in order to reach the level necessary for the management of basic techniques of microsurgery. Training in controlled environment models reduces the learning period and increases the skills of the participant. The main objective of the training is to achieve the minimum skills necessary to successfully perform a microsurgery technique.
