To develop a reproducible training program model covering the steps of the extended totally extraperitoneal approach (e-tep) technique for correction of ventral or incisional hernia repair.
Training sessions with surgeons in the laboratory using both porcine specimens and a new ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) model simulating the operative steps of the e-tep technique. Students were interviewed and asked to answer a questionnaire pre and post the sessions to assess their performance and evaluated the course and model.
A total of 25 trained abdominal wall surgeons was evaluated at the end of the course. It was obtained a 100% satisfaction score of the training, as well as increased confidence levels up to 9 and 10 in all technical aspects of the surgery, having 96% of the surgeons performed a surgery under supervision of the proctors after the course.
This training model is simple, effective, low cost, and replicable in guidance on the beginning of e-tep technique adoption, and performance. As a result, surgeons can get more confident and more able to perform surgeries employing this technique.
开发一种可重现的培训计划模型,涵盖改良完全腹膜外入路(e-tep)技术修复腹侧或切口疝的步骤。
在实验室中,外科医生使用猪标本和一种新的乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯(EVA)模型进行培训课程,模拟 e-tep 技术的手术步骤。学生在培训前后接受访谈并回答问卷,以评估他们的表现,并对课程和模型进行评估。
在课程结束时,共评估了 25 名接受过培训的腹壁外科医生。培训获得了 100%的满意度评分,以及所有手术技术方面信心水平提高至 9 到 10 分,96%的外科医生在课程结束后在指导医生的监督下进行了手术。
这种培训模型简单、有效、成本低,可在 e-tep 技术采用和手术表现的初期进行复制。因此,外科医生可以更加自信和熟练地进行使用该技术的手术。
