Simulation and training for pediatric colorectal surgery and anorectal malformation: a scoping review
Topic overview
This scoping review examines simulation models for pediatric colorectal surgery training, analyzing 13 studies on inanimate models, 3D reconstructions, and training modules for anorectal malformation repair. The review highlights available models for posterior sagittal anorectoplasty and emphasizes the need for high-fidelity simulators to standardize surgical techniques and improve trainee proficiency in this specialized field.
Key takeaways
- Inanimate simulation models for posterior sagittal anorectoplasty exist, with one model used across multiple training studies.
- 3D reconstructions enable personalized preoperative planning and improved understanding of complex anorectal malformation anatomy.
- Simulation-based training modules improve surgical dissection skills, technique standardization, and operative proficiency.
- Current models include inanimate trainers, animal cadavers, and 3D-printed/organoid constructs for pediatric colorectal procedures.
- High-fidelity simulation models and consensus surgical techniques are needed to advance training in pediatric colorectal surgery.
