Abstract

Simulation: Based training through different tools has been shown to reduce the learning curve of surgical techniques. Simulation consists of implementing something that resembles reality in the best possible way, with different models for this. This has the advantage of generating a safe learning environment where mistakes can be made without resulting in harm to the patient
Objectives: To demonstrate the development and acquisition of basic skills and abilities in laparoscopic surgery using simulation teaching methodology.
Material and methods: The methodology used is through evaluation sessions by standardized exercise modules, in which an evaluation is carried out once they have been completed. At the end of the course, we carry out a survey to each of the participants to evaluate its usefulness.
Results: The results are assessed in the short term by incorporating skills and abilities in the resolution of all the exercises and in the long term by whether the incorporation of these skills and abilities is useful in the care of patients.
Conclusion: Learning through simulation allows participants to acquire basic motor skills in a short period of time, where they can practice multiple times in a safe, less stressful environment, allowing to shorten learning curves in a safe and controlled environment.
