| Description: | With this course, almost exclusively practical, every participant acquires safely the technical bases that are common to any surgery by the realization of simple exercises. The number of trainees is voluntarily limited to allow individual training, evaluation and certification for each exercise. The program includes the management of pain, infectious risks and aseptic techniques, the choice of sutures, management of haemorrhagic risk and handling of fragile tissues.The analysis of procedures proposed by the participants themselves enriches the discussion about critical points of a surgical procedure and ways to anticipate or limit complications. The course's manual, updated annually, compiles theoretical data with more than sixty colour illustrated pages. The educational impact estimated six months later, shows that on average more than 70 % of the participants modified their practices.. |
