In response to ongoing concerns regarding transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), surgical practice has changed for the foreseeable future. Practice guidelines recommend only urgent or emergent surgical procedures be performed to minimize viral transmission. This effectively limits standard training and practice for surgical residents. The purpose of this article is to describe opportunities in surgical simulation, and highlights the challenges associated with training in the COVID-19 era.
This is a perspective summarizing the potential role of surgical simulation to target training gaps caused by decreased surgical caseloads.
This manuscript concisely discusses simulation options available to training programs, including the novel concept of "surgical kits." These kits include all instruments necessary to simulate a procedure at home, effectively pairing safety and utility.
鉴于对新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）传播的持续担忧，在可预见的未来，外科手术实践已发生改变。实践指南建议仅进行紧急或急诊外科手术，以尽量减少病毒传播。这有效地限制了外科住院医师的标准培训和实践。本文的目的是描述外科模拟的机会，并强调COVID-19时代培训相关的挑战。
这是一篇观点文章，总结了外科模拟在弥补因手术病例减少导致的培训差距方面的潜在作用。
本文简要讨论了培训项目可用的模拟选项，包括“手术套件”这一新颖概念。这些套件包含在家中模拟手术所需的所有器械，有效地兼顾了安全性和实用性。
