Abstract
Purpose
Over the last decade, there has been a rapid rise in the development and refinement of abdominal wall repair (AWR) techniques. Numerous cadaveric AWR training courses have been set up with the goal of helping practicing surgeons learn and incorporate them into their surgical repertoire. Some maybe excellent but their quality and consistency are unknown. The aim of this article is to present a stepwise cadaveric dissection template and checklist to standardize all training on open AWR courses and to help course organizers benchmark the quality of their program.
Methods
This article is based on both the authors experience as faculty and course leads of cadaveric AWR courses, and the published anatomical and operative literature. The authors represent the training committee of the European Hernia Society, and the AWR subcommittees of the British Hernia Society and Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland.
Results
A standardized stepwise approach for the cadaveric training of the most recognized procedures for open AWR, including retrorectus repair, posterior and anterior component separation techniques, is presented. Considerations on delegate selection, pre-course material and testing, course structure, and cadaveric models is also provided.
Conclusion
Time and financial resources for surgeons to attend courses to learn and hone the skills required for safe effective AWR is limited. Ideally all courses should deliver up to date consistent training of the highest quality. One step to achieve this is by developing a standardized approach to ensure delegate understanding of the operative steps and key anatomical features.
