To evaluate the features, anatomic accuracy, and educational value of a high-fidelity bilateral cleft lip simulator.
Evaluation of the simulator by expert cleft surgeons after performing a simulated bilateral cleft lip repair.
The simulator was evaluated by the surgeons during the Latin American Craniofacial Association meeting.
Eleven experienced cleft surgeons evaluated the simulator. The cleft surgeons were selected based on their availability during the meeting.
The participants performed a simulated bilateral cleft lip repair. They were each provided with a questionnaire assessing the simulator's features, realism and value as a training tool.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE (S): The main outcome measure are the scores obtained from a Likert-type questionnaire assessing the simulators features, realism and value.
Overall, the surgeons agreed with the simulator's realism and anatomic accuracy (average score of 3.7 out of 5). Overall, the surgeons strongly agreed with the value of the simulator as a training tool (average score of 4.6 out of 5).
A high-fidelity bilateral cleft lip simulator was developed that is realistic and valuable as a training tool. The simulator provides a comprehensive training platform to gain hands-on experience in bilateral cleft lip repair before operating on real patients.
评估一种高保真双侧唇裂模拟器的特点、解剖准确性及教育价值。
在进行模拟双侧唇裂修复后，由唇裂外科专家对模拟器进行评估。
在拉丁美洲颅面协会会议期间，外科医生对模拟器进行评估。
11名经验丰富的唇裂外科医生对模拟器进行评估。这些唇裂外科医生是根据会议期间的可用性挑选出来的。
参与者进行模拟双侧唇裂修复。他们每人都收到一份问卷，评估模拟器的特点、逼真程度及作为培训工具的价值。
主要观察指标是从一份李克特式问卷中获得的分数，该问卷评估模拟器的特点、逼真程度及价值。
总体而言，外科医生认可模拟器的逼真程度和解剖准确性（平均得分为3.7分，满分5分）。总体而言，外科医生强烈认可模拟器作为培训工具的价值（平均得分为4.6分，满分5分）。
开发出一种高保真双侧唇裂模拟器，其逼真且作为培训工具很有价值。该模拟器提供了一个全面的培训平台，以便在对真实患者进行手术之前获得双侧唇裂修复的实践经验。
