Guia de instrucción en artroscopia de hombro

Abstract

The evolution of traditional surgical techniques and training models for surgeons demand changes. For this reason, the Latin-American centre for training in minimally invasive surgery (CLEMI) has developed and applied teaching models that allow surgeons to learn minimally invasive surgical techniques such as arthroscopy. CLEMI proposes a model based on simulation presented in a controlled, structured, and progressive environment that is adjusted to the individual rhythm of each of the students. The student initially studies the theoretical concepts of the instruments, equipment, and ergonomics. Later, in the practical phase of the instruction, students perform a series of exercises in technical skills. Training and models under controlled environments decrease the learning period and enhance student skills.Evidence Level: IV
