Abstract

Surgical training is a long process that requires a lot of commitment and effort. Basic surgical techniques are the foundation of every procedure, with suturing being one of them. Hence, it is of great importance for aspiring young surgeons to practice and develop their suturing skills. Quite many kinds of suturing training models have been used and proposed worldwide, ranging from commercial silicone pads to meat leftovers and various fruits. We have developed our own, simplified, and low-cost suturing training pad that consists of three layers and is based on the combined use of silicone sponge sheet and polyurethane foam. It is quite durable and elastic and has been applied in three suturing training workshops so far. For this reason, we would like to present our experience of a low-cost but effective way of promoting and achieving further surgical excellence.
