The Еffectiveness of Simulation Practical Training in Hospital Surgery in a Simulation Center

Abstract

The main stages of the perioperative period in acute appendicitis were recreated in simulated conditions with 5th year students: differential diagnosis; preoperative preparation; diagnostic laparoscopy; laparoscopic appendectomy; suturing an operating wound; postoperative management. The entrance testing and the final questionnaire were carried out. The high efficiency of classes and high motivation of students to this format of training are shown, which gives grounds for a wider use of simulation classes in teaching clinical disciplines to senior students.
