Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we examined a training program of the surgical education to from a medical student to a young surgeon and built it. With the Wet laboratory training using the pig organ, we examined the model making by the 3D printing technique. We made an abdominal aortic aneurysm model and used it for a student lecture. We made a phantom model to perform thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) safely and confirmed the educational effect. As endoscopic surgical training, we used VR system and Box training. In this study, we established the order of those effective training. The training of the perioperative troubleshooting was possible only in an animal laboratory and seemed to be useful in the future.
