Many models exist to help the medical student learn how to suture at a competency level required to progress to suturing on patients. However, these models do not readily simulate the qualities of live human tissue. We propose a simple intraoperative high-fidelity model that places the excised autologous patient tissue (eg, panniculectomy and breast reduction) on a sterile side table to allow the trainee to practice their skills alongside the staff surgeon on comparable tissue for the remainder of the case. We believe that the adoption of this practice allows a unique opportunity for medical students to advance their suturing techniques in a low-stress environment with staff surgeon guidance, further preparing them to perform high-quality closures on live patients.
有许多模型可帮助医学生学习如何以达到为患者进行缝合所需的能力水平进行缝合。然而，这些模型并不能轻易模拟活体人体组织的特性。我们提出一种简单的术中高保真模型，即将切除的自体患者组织（如腹壁成形术和乳房缩小术切除的组织）放置在无菌侧台上，以便实习生在该病例的剩余过程中，在与主刀医生所处理的类似组织上练习他们的技能。我们认为，采用这种做法为医学生提供了一个独特的机会，使其能够在低压力环境下，在主刀医生的指导下提升他们的缝合技术，从而进一步为在活体患者身上进行高质量缝合做好准备。
