ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The anatomical subject is still a key element to learn complex procedures in plastic surgery. We present here the evaluation of an in-training operator on a SIMLIFE® model, hyper realistic model consisting in human bodies donated to science equipped with pulsating recirculation and reventilation device. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
From February 2019 to October 2019, 8 forearm flaps with radial proximal pedicle were harvested by the learner on a SIMLIFE® model. Conditions were as close as possible to the operating room asepsy, sterile draping, assistant and instrumentation including electrocoagulation.RESULTS:
The procedure was decomposed in 13 distinct steps. Mean total surgery time was 90,5±11,62minutes. There was only one case of arterial pedicle lesion resulting in major blood leak. Bleeding was measured by fake blood loss from the SIMLIFE® console. Mean intraoperatoy bleeding was 171±108 milliliters. We review pros and cons of this new technology particulary suited for complex plastic and reconstructive surgery training.CONCLUSION:
Using SIMLIFE® technology we have a new mean to train for complex procedures in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This new technology could be applied to numerous other surgical procedures. Broader applications are still limited by cost and cadaver use legislation.Key words
