Abstract

The acquisition of skill is necessary to become a surgeon, in the same manner that one acquires the skill to become a pilot. The model of Halsted “see one, do one, teach one” is not actually acceptable because of patient security and preference, increased financial pressure, limitation of resident work hours and time restraints of training young surgeons and residents. In all the country, these findings result in the need for supplemental education with surgical simulation. Many models may be used: computed-based simulators, animals and human cadaver… Human cadaveric dissection is used as a major tool in learning surgical anatomy. Human cadaveric surgery offers the highest fidelity in haptic experience for surgical procedure. Learning experience within the appropriate and realistic simulated context improves the skill and decrease resident stress and anxiety. We present a perfusion and ventilation technique that restores pulsatile blood flow and pressure, respiratory movements in a fresh human cadaveric model.
