Abstract
Aim: The acquisition of technical skills in any training process depends decisively on the ability of simulation solutions to reproduce pathological conditions equivalent to real clinical situations. It is obvious that the offer for training of normal situations is much more generous than for acquiring the ability to solve pathological entities, including emergencies.
Material and Method: The same applies to the EAES Ultrasound Course for surgeons, launched six years ago in Frankfurt. Appealing to the human model or to different varieties of molds and phantoms, the teaching and practice of the normal is well supported. However, the pathological entities are presented in graphic and video format, without the possibility of practicing the hands-on maneuvers. As a first step in overcoming these shortcomings, the course team used the construction of 3D printing shells equivalent to the surface of the liver and breast. In these forms are prepared structures equivalent to the two organs using substances such as food gelatin or flour. Figures 1 and 2
Results: Equivalents of some normal or pathological anatomical structures obtained by embedding in food gelatin some manually shaped elements could be used for vascular or ganglion puncture exercises, biopsy sampling, dissection plan delimitations, drainage installation
The European project MIREIA aims to create a software for spatial reconstruction of normal or pathological anatomical structures starting from the imaging associated with that case. Specimens of didactic interest can be exported as a link to interested training centers where they will be 3D printed. This technique will lead to a wide access to models that reproduce pathological situations, with high didactic interest
Conclusions: The results of the European MIREIA project are expected to produce important qualitative changes in various forms of training in Minimal Invasive Surgery but also in applications such as the EAES hands-on course on Ultrasound for Surgeons.
