Abstract
To develop a new experimental model of lower cost for training in videosurgery. This project was performed at the Nucleus of Experimental Surgery of the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health, based on previous models described in the literature and under the supervision of the full professor of Operative Technique and Experimental Surgery II. It was made a model cube-shaped, made of wood, with holes distributed in various locations, rubber stoppers for the holes and lined externally with carpet, and internally with laminate. The new experimental model is of low cost and reproduces quite faithfully several videosurgical procedures. Medical schools interested in the subject may adopt the new model for training in videosurgery without the need of high costs for making and using these models.
Highlights
The operative and surgical techniques have undergone a continuous process of improvement in several specialties
With the videosurgery entering its maturity, it is essential to maintain the stimulus for training at all levels, including undergraduate medical and not just a future residence[4]
A major reason is the lack of economically viable models that meet the requirements for training in videosurgery like, for example, the existence of a system with images similar to those obtained in actual videosurgery equipment[5]
Summary
The operative and surgical techniques have undergone a continuous process of improvement in several specialties. In the field of gastrointestinal surgery, like bariatric surgery, cholecystectomy, appendectomy and treatment of coloproctologic diseases, endoscopic procedures have gained increasing space. With the videosurgery entering its maturity, it is essential to maintain the stimulus for training at all levels, including undergraduate medical and not just a future residence[4]. With few exceptions, it is not what is happening in the majority of medical courses in the country. A major reason is the lack of economically viable models that meet the requirements for training in videosurgery like, for example, the existence of a system with images similar to those obtained in actual videosurgery equipment[5]
