ABSTRACT

Introduction: In the surgical skills laboratory of the Maciel Hospital, general surgery residents are trained using simulators of different complexity and fidelity. They acquire and develop different skills in a safe and controlled environment. This increase the confidence and security of the resident in performing surgical maneuvers and has positive impact on patient safety. Inguinal hernias have a high incidence and their treatment, exclusively surgical, is based on a solid anatomo-surgical knowledge. Objective: To communicate our experience in the use of human corpses for the training of inguinal herniorrhaphy and hernioplasties. Material and methods: 24 inguinal regions of adult corpses fixed in formalin (both sexes), we performed herniorrhaphy and hernioplasty by laparotomic and laparoscopic approach. Results: The rigidity of the cadaveric material was not an impediment to the performance of the surgical exercise but required broader approaches. The residents positively assessed the surgical training, were able to familiarize themselves with the surgical anatomy of the region, performed, repeated and systematized each surgical technique in similar spatial and physical conditions as in the patient. Conclusions: The human corpse is an excellent phantom for training in herniorrhaphy and hernioplasty. The rigidity of the material wasn’t a limitation for the proposed simulation exercise.
