Simulation and dedicated practice outside the operating room can improve surgical technique and enhance intraoperative learning and performance. We designed a "do-it-yourself" simulator for use at home made from inexpensive, readily accessible materials that faithfully recreates multiple operative scenarios in cardiac surgery. This video tutorial demonstrates how to build our modular cardiac surgery simulator and to practice drills using our Basic Surgical Skills Module, which helps hone basic linear suturing, needle angles, and knot tying.
