Simulated Training

Simulation training, where a scenario or setting is replicated, is now firmly associated with surgical training. Involving both technical and non-technical competencies, it provides a valuable tool in training new skills to both new and current surgeons. As patient safety becomes more of a focus, alongside advances in technology and surgical techniques, there is a continued concern regarding operative exposure for futures surgeons. This void in which simulated training fits, a claim supported by an expanding literature base. The recent integration of simulation into training curricula aims to promote consistency in access to simulation facilities across deaneries and invite the experience of dedicated instructors to optimise educational use.

The Subject

AbstractFNT Departments in the united kingdom are faced with increasing, managementand the colleges responsible for surgical training to intrtoduce formal medical self audit. The plethora of guidelines and publi-cations on the subject rarely address the differences in clinical pratice medicine or surgery and that of otoaryngology. Clearly the lead in the introduction of medical audit will come from the appropriate specilaist associations; however. this paper aims to share the experienceof the implementation of audit otoaryngology, head and neck surgery unit and offer suggestions for a programme elsewhere.

Working Hour

The traditional, time-intensive apprenticeship model of surgical skill acquisition has become impracticable in the current era of working hour restrictions that limit the total hours available for surgical training.1–3 Trainees feel 'hands on' operative exposure has been reduced, having an impact on training as well as patient safety.4 while working hour restrictions persist, simply increasing the length of surgical training will not adequately overcome reduced exposure to operative training. Improving quality and efficiency of training must therefore utilise learning outside the operating theatre; simulation training could form part of this.

Background: As the classical surgical training (mentor–trainee) model is not feasible in the current era of surgical training and simulation model for training young residents is proven, the advanced surgical residents may benefit from cadaver based surgical teaching.Methods: International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association India 2017 provided great opportunity to organize basic hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) anatomy workshop clubbed with HPB radiology and other advanced surgical techniques. It was attended by advanced surgical residents and practicing junior faculty. Post-program survey was conducted and results implied.Results: 131 surgeons attended and 90 (80% residents, 15.6% practicing surgeons) completed the survey. Majority (97.5%) felt that the HPB anatomy was adequately demonstrated by spending enough time for dissection techniques and discussion. Most (84.7%) never attended cadaveric dissection during or after their training program. 95.1% think that dedicated anatomy or dissection teaching sessions are either very useful or useful for their level of surgical training. All participants found cadaveric workshop either very useful (73.3%) or useful (26.7%) learning tool. Majority (73.3%) felt that demonstrated HPB procedures were appropriate for their level. All participants (100%) felt that cadaveric workshops will improve their surgical skills and many (93.4%) felt these improve their confidence in operation theatres.Conclusions: This cadaver based HPB teaching program is an initial step for unique HPB surgical education and useful adjunct for advanced surgical trainees in modern era. Residents consider this as good learning tool and possibly improve surgical skills and confidence. The translation of cadaver based HPB surgical learning into better surgical care needs evaluation in future.
