Congenital heart surgeons’ training is complex and challenging. The learning curve is long and the increasing complexity of pathologies is demanding. In order to develop adequate surgical-skill competencies, “in vivo” and simulation-based practicing are paramount. Simulation can be performed either on a computer screen or animal hearts and prosthetic models. In this article, we illustrate a porcine Wet Lab simulation for the Nikaidoh operation to point out its potential advantage to learn complex congenital surgery procedures.

Aim. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs) are increasingly used for the palliation of metastatic colorectal cancer and as a bridge to surgery for obstructing tumours. This case series analyses the learning curve and changes in practice of colorectal stenting over a three year period.Methods. A study of 40 patients who underwent placement of SEMS for the management of colorectal cancer. Patients spanned the learning curve of a single surgeon endoscopist.Results. Technical success rates increased from 82% initially, using an average of 1.7 stents per procedure, to a 94% success rate where all patients were stented using a single stent. There has been a change in practice from elective palliative stenting toward emergency preoperative stenting.Conclusion. There is a steep learning curve for the use of SEMS in the management of malignant colorectal bowel obstruction. We suggest that at least 20 cases are required for an operator to be considered experienced.
