Genelyn is a proprietary embalming solution used for preserving cadavers for surgical skill training (SST) and undergraduate teaching. The aim of this review is to examine the Genelyn embalming method critically by analyzing scientific publications that have employed this method for SST and undergraduate education. The systematic review process involved searching for all relevant articles in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase using the keywords "Genelyn," Genelyn embalming," "Genelyn embalmed cadaver," and "surgical skill training. All studies on Genelyn embalming published up to August 14, 2024, in the English language were eligible for inclusion. The literature review yielded 92 studies, 43 of which met the inclusion criteria. The Anatomical Quality Assurance (AQUA) tool from the International Evidence-Based Anatomy (iEBA) working group was used to assess and analyze the risk of bias in all the selected full-text articles. The selected studies reported that Genelyn embalming provided life-like joint range of motion, tissue pliability, and color. Cadaveric studies assessing embalming solutions typically had smaller sample sizes, and few of them compared Genelyn embalmed cadavers (GECs) with the other soft embalming solutions. Unlike Theil's embalming, Genelyn embalming is cost-effective, with easy steps for the preparation and storage of the solution and convenient handling of cadavers. Therefore, GECs serve as an efficient tool for SSTs.
Genelyn是一种用于保存尸体以进行外科技能培训（SST）和本科教学的专利防腐溶液。本综述的目的是通过分析将这种方法用于SST和本科教育的科学出版物，对Genelyn防腐方法进行批判性审视。系统综述过程包括在PubMed、谷歌学术和Embase中使用关键词“Genelyn”、“Genelyn防腐”、“Genelyn防腐尸体”和“外科技能培训”搜索所有相关文章。截至2024年8月14日发表的所有关于Genelyn防腐的英文研究均符合纳入标准。文献综述产生了92项研究，其中43项符合纳入标准。国际循证解剖学（iEBA）工作组的解剖质量保证（AQUA）工具用于评估和分析所有选定全文文章中的偏倚风险。选定的研究报告称，Genelyn防腐提供了逼真的关节活动范围、组织柔韧性和颜色。评估防腐溶液的尸体研究样本量通常较小，很少有研究将Genelyn防腐尸体（GEC）与其他软防腐溶液进行比较。与泰尔氏防腐不同，Genelyn防腐具有成本效益，溶液的制备和储存步骤简单，尸体处理方便。因此，GEC是SST的有效工具。
