Simulation seems to be the best method of improving medical attitude, technical skills, and operating times. A literature review of the available data in simulation for hernia surgery was performed. Surgical simulation has been included as a main requirement in residency programs and endorsed by several surgical societies. However, evaluating how simulation affects patient's outcomes is challenging. In addition, simulation training represents an institutional economic burden that could undermine its implementation and development. Published data support that simulation-based training is a highly efficient tool, thus, its implementation should be strongly encouraged.
模拟似乎是改善医学态度、技术技能和手术次数的最佳方法。对疝手术模拟的现有数据进行了文献回顾。外科模拟已被纳入住院医师培训计划的主要要求，并得到了多个外科协会的认可。然而，评估模拟如何影响患者的结果具有挑战性。此外，模拟培训代表了机构的经济负担，这可能会破坏其实施和发展。已发表的数据支持基于模拟的培训是一种非常有效的工具，因此，应大力鼓励其实施。
