Conjunctival closure is an important step in strabismus surgery and a fundamental surgical skill that requires dexterity and understanding of general surgical principles. Traditionally, ophthalmology residents have improved their surgical technique in supervised wet labs. Social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic may have limited the ability for direct supervised surgical teaching. We developed a safe, reusable, low-cost teaching module that allows residents to train independently to develop skills necessary for conjunctival closure. This module uses stepwise teaching and video instruction to improve resident confidence and preparedness in conjunctival suturing.
结膜闭合是斜视手术中的重要步骤，也是一项基本的外科技能，需要灵巧性和对一般外科原则的理解。传统上，眼科住院医师通过在监督下的湿实验室来提高他们的手术技术。在 COVID-19 大流行期间的社交距离准则可能限制了直接监督手术教学的能力。我们开发了一种安全、可重复使用、低成本的教学模块，使住院医师能够独立培训，以发展结膜闭合所需的技能。该模块使用逐步式教学和视频指导，提高住院医师在结膜缝合方面的信心和准备程度。
